Values are means ± SE; n = 3 mice/group. Western blot band intensity was normalized to total lane amido black staining. Relative protein expression was calculated as a percentage of the WT air-exposed value. FR-1, FGF-regulated protein 1; ALDH3A1, aldehyde dehydrogenase 3A1; CYP, cytochrome P-450; NQO1, NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1.
P < 0.05 vs. the WT air-exposed group.
