Chronic Alcohol ingestion during exposure to CDPM increases active TGF-β levels in the lung. (A) Total TGF-β in whole lung tissue homogenates. (B) Tgf-β gene expression in BAL-isolated AMs. (C) Percentage of LAP+ AMs in whole lung. Significance (p<0.05, Two-way ANOVA, Bonferroni post-tests) indicated above sample column by the letters of the reference control group of the comparison.
