Abstract excerpt
In this paper we examined structural differences in alveolar size among inbred mouse strains which are known to have significant differences in lung pressure-volume relations. Accordingly, we assessed whether the relative size or number of alveoli in the C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, and A/J strains are related to these lung volume differences. Lungs from each of these strains were fixed in situ and then excised for...
