Influence of Long-Term Inhaled Glucocorticoids on the Lung Surfactant Phospholipid Levels in Rats

Influence of Long-Term Inhaled Glucocorticoids on the Lung Surfactant Phospholipid Levels in Rats

Background: Damage to lung surfactant, which is responsible for the lung local immunity, may contribute to the development of bronchial inflammation in patients with bronchial asthma. Different doses of glucocorticoids produce a stimulating or inhibiting effect on the synthesis of the surfactant pro...
