[Surfactant system of lung in rats with different resistance to stress under alloxan diabetes].

It is shown that the surface active properties of lung under experimental diabetes mellitus was decreased on the background of increased LPL content in alveolar space. Surfactant changes correlated with the level of glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and 11-oxycorticosteroids in blood. The obtained results indicate that the degree of impairment in the pulmonary surfactant system in alloxan diabetes depends on the resistance or susceptibility of animals to stress.
