Total proteins (μg/mL) | Phospholipids (μg/mL) | SP-A (μg/mL) | |
Right lung | 8,500 | 150 | 202 |
Left lung | 6,500 | 80 | 41 |
Controls (mean ± SD) | 171 ± 74 | 46 ± 27 | 1 ± 1 |
Concentrations of total proteins, phospholipids and SP-A were measured in the outflow fluid after lavage of both lungs and were found to be markedly increased with respect to control levels.
