Effect of phorbol myristate acetate on cellular metabolism and lysozyme release from alveolar macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Phorbol myristate acetate stimulated oxidative metabolism in alveolar macrophages and blood neutrophils. This compound also stimulated lysozyme release from neutrophils but not from alveolar macrophages. These findings suggest that the regulation of lysozyme release from alveolar macrophages is different than for polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
