ABSTRACT
Acute ozone exposure increases circulating stress hormones and induces metabolic alterations in animals. We hypothesized that the increase of adrenal-derived is necessary for both ozone-induced effects lung injury. Male Wistar-Kyoto rats underwent bilateral adrenal demedullation (DEMED), total adrenalectomy (ADREX), or sham surgery (SHAM). After a 4 day recovery, were exposed to air (1 ppm), h/day 1 2 days responses assessed immediately postexposure. Circulating adrenaline levels dropped nearly zero DEMED ADREX relative SHAM. Corticosterone tended be low rats. Adrenalectomy air-exposed caused modest changes metabolites toxicity parameters. Ozone-induced hyperglycemia glucose intolerance markedly attenuated with complete reversal Ozone increased epinephrine corticosterone SHAM but not Free fatty acids (P = .15) branched-chain amino after Lung minute volume was affected by labored breathing less pronounced protein leakage neutrophilic inflammation reduced (ADREX > DEMED). Ozone-mediated decreases white blood cells observed demonstrate peripheral injury/inflammation are mediated through likely via activation response pathway.
