Vitamin D Enhances Alveolar Development in Antenatal Lipopolysaccharide-Treated Rats through the Suppression of Interferon-γ Production
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is characterized by the premature arrest of alveolar development. Antenatal exposure to inflammation inhibits lung morphogenesis, thereby increasing the risk for the development of BPD. Here, we investigated whether vitamin D (VitD) enhances alveolar development in a...
