Table 1.

Effect of IL-13 blockade or TNFR2 deficiency on O3-induced increases in airway responsiveness, BAL neutrophil numbers, and pulmonary mechanics in lean and obese mice.

Intervention Lean mice Obese mice
Airway responsiveness BAL neutrophils Pulmonary mechanics Airway responsiveness BAL neutrophils Pulmonary mechanics
IL-13 blockade No change No change No change No change Decrease Decrease
TNFR2 deficiency Decrease No change No change Increase Decrease Decrease
Outcomes (no change, increase, decrease) indicate the qualitative change in the response to O3 relative to the absence of IL-13 blockade or TNFR2 deficiency.
