(Pneumoconiosis) :
Our results indicate that BAI in the PA coal may induce IL-6 through both ferryl species ( via iron autoxidation ) and hydroxyl radicals ( via the Fenton/Haber Weiss reactions )
Hsieh et al., Clinical and molecular allergy : CMA 2007
:
BAI ( 1.8 to 30 muM ) significantly inhibited production of IL-6 , IL-8, and MCP-1 in a dose dependent manner in IL-1beta activated HMC-1 ... BAI ( 30 muM ) also significantly inhibited production of IL-6 , IL-8, and MCP-1 in TNF-alpha activated HMC-1
