8-Isoprostane levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis
(2013)Objective and design: Sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are both associated with deregulated inflammatory mechanisms partially triggered by aggravated oxidative stress. 8-Isoprostane has been proposed as ... -
ICAM-1, ICAM-2 and ICAM-3 in the sera of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2004)In order to test the serum levels of ICAM-1, ICAM-2 and ICAM-3 in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), twenty patients with IPF and eleven with secondary interstitial fibrosis (SIF), as well as forty healthy ... -
