Passive smoking: Acrolein inhibits immune defense ans thereby favours tumor growth
In Austria alone, two or three people a day die as a result of passive smoking, for pets the numbers are obscure. Acrolein, a compound in side stream smoke, was identified for the first time by Franziska Roth-Walter (IPA) et al. as one of the main causes of failure of the immune defence to tumours due to passive smoking: It stimulates T-regulatory cells via the Arylhydrocarbon-Receptor.
