Alterations in pulmonary structure by elastase administration in a model of emphysema in mice is associated with functional disturbances

Several experimental studies of pulmonary emphysema using animal models have been described in the literature. However, only a few of these studies have focused on the assessment of ergometric function as a non-invasive technique to validate the methodology used for induction of experimental emphyse...
