1 | In this study, in situ hybridization of Mn-SOD in the lungs of adult rats exposed to air or to 85% O2 for 3 days was performed. | Oxygen | superoxide dismutase 2 | Rattus norvegicus |
2 | In animals exposed to either air or 85% O2, Mn-SOD transcripts were present in arterioles, the septal tips of alveolar ducts, alveolar type II cells, and mesothelial cells. | Oxygen | superoxide dismutase 2 | Rattus norvegicus |
3 | The high level of expression of Mn-SOD mRNA in alveolar duct septal tips in both control and O2-exposed animals may be secondary to increased aerobic activity in these regions, which contain collagen and elastin and are important stress-bearing elements in the lung. | Oxygen | superoxide dismutase 2 | Rattus norvegicus |
