| 1 | Inhibition of ozone-induced SP-A oxidation by plant polyphenols. | Polyphenols | surfactant protein A1 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | In the present study, eight plant polyphenols (three flavonoids, three hydroxycinnamic acids, and two hydroxybenzoic acids) known as strong antioxidants, were tested for their ability to inhibit ozone-induced SP-A oxidation as a mechanism for chemoprevention against lung damage. | Polyphenols | surfactant protein A1 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | The results indicate that inhibition of SP-A oxidation by plant polyphenols may be a mechanism accounting for the protective activity of natural antioxidants against the effects of ozone exposure on lungs. | Polyphenols | surfactant protein A1 | Homo sapiens |
