Effects of Obesity on Pulmonary Inflammation and Remodeling in Experimental Moderate Acute Lung Injury

Effects of Obesity on Pulmonary Inflammation and Remodeling in Experimental Moderate Acute Lung Injury

Obese patients are at higher risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS); however, their survival rates are also higher compared to those of similarly ill non-obese patients. We hypothesized that obesity would not only prevent lung inflammation, but also reduce remodeling in modera...
