Abstract

That metabolic status exerts a significant influence on respiratory tract structure and function is well known. An extreme condition such as starvation in animal models can be associated with parenchymal modifications leading to atelectasis, emphysematous changes and susceptibility to infections.1–3 In these situations a surfactant deficit has been demonstrated, related to a low uptake of precursors and/or to a decreased function of synthetic enzyme processes by type II pneumocytes.1,2
