pubmed:abstractText |
Animal studies have shown elevated surfactant production in response to lung injury. In human airways, the contribution of surfactant to the airway epithelial barrier and importance of eosinophilic inflammation is increasingly appreciated. The relationship between blood and sputum inflammatory indices of childhood asthma to surfactant levels is unknown. In this study we hypothesized that the degree of inflammation influences the level of dipalmitoyl phosphatidycholine (DPPC) in airways of children with asthma.
