Measurement of oxidative damage following oil smoke exposure (OSE). (A) Western blots were probed with a monoclonal antibody to HEL, an early and stable marker for lipid peroxidation derived protein oxidation. (B) The 150 kDa band from the HEL immunoblot was compared to the 42 kDa actin band by densitometry analysis. Mean and range of 8 replicate experiments are presented. The lanes contained protein samples from rat lungs exposed to 0, 60 or 120 min OSE, as well as samples from rats pretreated with L733060 (L), lovastatin (Lov), vitamin E (VitE), or catechins (C). * Indicates a significant difference from control rats with 0 min OSE. ** Indicates a significant difference from rats exposed to 120 min oil smoke without pretreatment; – Without drug pretreatment.
