“ Bleomycin delayed the onset of lung cell proliferation normally seen after treatment with BHT while CP attenuated this cell division only after it had begun.”
“Mice given 100, 75, 50, 40 or 25 mg/kg bleomycin 1 day after BHT exhibited 100, 90, 22, 20 and 21% mortality, respectively.”
“Total lung hydroxyproline content, an index of fibrosis, was significantly increased 14 days after the initial treatment in mice given BHT and 50 mg/kg bleomycin compared to mice treated with BHT, bleomycin or vehicle alone.”
