Assessment of lipid peroxidation inhibitory potential of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from rat lungs.
Studies were carried out to further localize pulmonary tissue lipid peroxidation inhibitor reported earlier to be present in whole lung homogenate in rat. A major portion of the inhibitory material could be lavaged from bronchoalveolar region using various wash media. The material was heat labile and exhibited higher degree of inhibition when recovered from the lungs of mature and aged rats.
