Abstract excerpt
Over time in culture, rat type II alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) demonstrate increased levels of unesterified arachidonic acid (AA) and increased prostanoid synthesis, while assuming certain morphological and biochemical characteristics of the type I cell phenotype. The objective of this study w...
