Ingestion poisoning related lung injury- a pictorial review

The interactive effect of seven weeks aerobic exercise training and piperine against paraquat-induced lung damage in male Wistar rats: Investigating role of oxidative and inflammatory indices

“…Paraquat intoxication leads to multiple organ failure and is linked to a high mortality rate [ 2 ]. In particular, the lung tissue is considered the major target of paraquat accumulation and toxicity, and plasma concentrations of this substance are about six to ten times greater than those in the lungs [ 3 , 4 ]. Oxidative stress and excessive inflammatory responses due to immune system imbalance are responsible for the pathogenesis of paraquat-induced lung damage [ 5 , 6 ].…”
