Oxidative and Proteolytic Inactivation of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Pathogenesis: A Top-Down Proteomic Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Analysis

The study investigates the role of the oxidative and proteolytic inactivation of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples were collected on the 3rd day of life from mechanically ventilated neon...
