Palmitic acid (PA) has been for long time negatively depicted for its putative detrimental
health effects, shadowing its multiple crucial physiological activities. PA is the most common …

Pulmonary surfactant is an essential lipid–protein complex to maintain an operative
respiratory surface at the mammalian lungs. It reduces surface tension at the alveolar air …

Pulmonary surfactant is a critical component of lung function in healthy individuals. It
functions in part by lowering surface tension in the alveoli, thereby allowing for breathing …

Pulmonary surfactant (PS) is a complicated mixture of approximately 90% lipids and 10%
proteins. It plays an important role in maintaining normal respiratory mechanics by reducing …

The pulmonary surfactant system constitutes an excellent example of how dynamic
membrane polymorphism governs some biological functions through specific lipid–lipid …

This work reviews the bio-chemical mechanisms leading to adverse effects produced when
mineral fibres are inhaled and transported in the lungs from the perspective of a …

Lung surfactant is a complex with a unique phospholipid and protein composition. Its
specific function is to reduce surface tension at the pulmonary air–liquid interface. The …

The use of simulated biological fluids (SBFs) is a promising in vitro technique to better
understand the release mechanisms and possible in vivo behaviour of materials, including …

Pulmonary surfactant (PS) is a lipid-protein complex essential to stabilise the delicate
structure of mammalian alveoli along with successive compression-expansion respiratory …

Lipidomics has become an indispensable method for the quantitative assessment of lipid
metabolism in basic, clinical, and pharmaceutical research. It allows for the generation of …
