In order to examine the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of BA as well as the oxidative stress and inflammation caused by BO, serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), total oxidant and antioxidant status (TOS, TAS), and cytochrome C levels were measured. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.
