The Lung, Whole-Body Metabolism and Disease

摘要: It is well recognized that the lung has its own hormonally responsive endogenous metabolism. Less potential of to influence and, in turn, be influenced by homeostatic mechanisms body. suggested could modulate concentrations circulating hormones and thereby play an indirect exogenous metabolic role whole-body Investigations patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass as studies with perfused rat suggest make important direct contribution lactate perhaps alanine production. The control metabolism may exerted through hormones, substrates, blood gases movement. Disorders or whole body disturb these relationships. In chronic disease metabolites are affected conversely diabetes there effects on unified concept lung/whole-body discussed relation therapeutic approaches for prevention investigation neonatal adult respiratory distress syndromes.
