High-fat Western diet alters crystalline silica-induced airway epithelium ion transport but not airway smooth muscle reactivity

High-fat Western diet alters crystalline silica-induced airway epithelium ion transport but not airway smooth muscle reactivity

Abstract Objectives Silicosis is an irreversible occupational lung disease resulting from crystalline silica inhalation. Previously, we discovered that Western diet (HFWD)-consumption increases susceptibility to silica-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. This study investigated the potentia...
