Effect of Different Molecular Weights of Polyacrylic Acid on Rat Lung Following Intratracheal Instillation

Background: We conducted intratracheal instillations of different molecular weights of polyacrylic acid (PAA) into rats in order to examine what kinds of physicochemical characteristics of acrylic acid-based polymer affect responses in the lung. Methods: F344 rats were intratracheally exposed to a h...
