Eustachian tube surfactant is different from alveolar surfactant: determination of phospholipid composition of porcine eustachian tube lavage fluid

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the main phospholipid in lung surfactant and, more specifically, dipalmitoyl PC (PC16:0/16:0) is the major surface-active component. Several studies have tentatively shown that eustachian tube lavage fluid (ETLF) contains surface-active material. The aim of the present st...
