1 Cholesterol-mediated surfactant dysfunction is mitigated by surfactant protein A. Cholesterol surfactant protein A1 Homo sapiens
2 It was hypothesized that elevated cholesterol levels within surfactant inhibit human surfactant biophysical function and that these effects can be reversed by surfactant protein A (SP-A). Cholesterol surfactant protein A1 Homo sapiens
3 It was hypothesized that elevated cholesterol levels within surfactant inhibit human surfactant biophysical function and that these effects can be reversed by surfactant protein A (SP-A). Cholesterol surfactant protein A1 Homo sapiens
4 It is concluded that cholesterol-induced surfactant inhibition can actively contribute to physiological impairment of the lungs in mechanically ventilated patients and that SP-A levels may be important to maintain surfactant function in the presence of high cholesterol within surfactant.
