From: HIV-1 transgene expression in rats causes oxidant stress and alveolar epithelial barrier dysfunction
HIV-1 transgene expression increased the levels of hydrogen peroxide levels in lung tissue. Lung tissue from HIV-1 transgenic (HIV-1 Tg) rats had significantly increased (* P < 0.0001) levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) compared to lung tissue from wild type (WT rats). H2O2 levels were determined by the Amplex Red fluorescent detection technique as described in the Methods. Each value represents the mean ± SEM of 6 rats.
