Forced expiration measurements in mouse models of obstructive and restrictive lung diseases

Forced expiration measurements in mouse models of obstructive and restrictive lung diseases

Abstract Background Pulmonary function measurements are important when studying respiratory disease models. Both resistance and compliance have been used to assess lung function in mice. Yet, it is not always clear how these parameters relate to forced expiration (FE)-related parameters, most common...
