Effect of intratracheal injection of zinc oxide dust in guinea pigs. 1986

S Gupta, and S D Pandey, and V Misra, and P N Viswanathan

Intratracheal injection of zinc oxide dust, a component of many cosmetic preparations caused elevation of alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase in serum and lung of guinea pigs. Clearance of zinc oxide dust from lungs through zinc-carrying proteins was evident.
