Estimated exposure to endotoxin and circulating immunological markers among male farmers in the Biomarkers of Exposure and Effect in Agriculture study
Several circulating immune markers were associated with endotoxin levels in an exposure-response manner. Our findings are consistent with prior work on hog farming and suggest possible biological mechanisms through which endotoxin may confer a reduced risk of lung cancer.
