Exposure to asbestos alters the profile of signaling molecules in the peritoneal lavage. 6–8-week-old C57Bl/6J mice were exposed to crocidolite i.p. (400 µg/mouse) every 3 weeks for eight rounds. Thirty-three weeks after initial exposure to crocidolite mice were sacrificed to collect peritoneal lavage to determine the levels of several cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines. All of them were more abundant in the lavage from crocidolite-exposed mice. N = 6–8 mice. Mean ± SE. **p < 0.01, Mann–Whitney test
