DEVELOPMENTS OF TOXICOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON FORMALDEHYDE

摘要

This paper is a review on recent developments of the toxicological and physiological studies on formaldehyde. Hotspots involved in this topic include: (1) Formaldehyde-induced gene expression; (2) Formaldehyde-induced asthma; (3) Airway neurogenic inflammation (4) formaldehyde working as signaling molecule in body; (5) Epigenesis: methylation of DNA and proteins; (6) DNA-protein crosslink; (7) Lysine-DPC repair enzyme; (8) Formaldehyde-induced Apoptosis.
