Relationship between the phospholipid content of BALL and lamellar body in septic rats / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

The phospholipid content in BALL markedly increased (P0.01) in septic rats induced by cecal ligation plus punctures as compared with non-septic control. Meanwhile, the lamellar inclusion bodies in type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells were empty observed in electro-microscopic examination. Authors suggest that the changes mentioned above is a compensatory response related to stress in early stage of sepsis.
