The normal lung is the site of intense metabolic activity, largely associated with the endothelial cell. Depressed pulmonary metabolic function is seen in a wide variety of experimental animal models of acute lung injury, and is also demonstrated in ARDS patients. The evaluation of lung metabolic activity may prove to be a sensitive probe for the detection of the earliest phases of acute lung injury, as well as a guide to the severity of injury or response to therapy. Depressed lung metabolic function may play a role in the intrapulmonary and/or systemic pathophysiology of ARDS.
