Oxidative damage to lung surfactant and lipid membranes
Lung surfactant is a mixed monolayer of lipids and proteins that reduce the surface tension at the air-lung interface to prevent alveolar collapse. Exposure of lung surfactant to ozone pollution has been linked to an increased risk of death due to respiratory diseases. This work aimed to determine t...
