Green Tea Extract Inhibits Paraquat-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis by Suppression of Oxidative Stress and Endothelin-l Expression
Paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis involves two factors, direct injury by oxygen free radicals and indirect injury by inflammatory cells and fibroblasts. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) has been shown to act as a mediato...
