Abstract
Young adult male BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with 400 mg butylated hydroxytoluene/kg body weight and immediately placed in 70% oxygen for 6 days. An extensive interstitial pulmonary fibrosis developed 14 days after the beginning of the experiment. An increase in lung collagen was confirmed electron-microscopically. Comparison with human disease and usefulness of this animal model are discussed. (Nizze - Rostock)
