PPQ (phospholipid-to-protein ratio); Phospholipid classes are given as percent (w/w) of all phospholipids. LSA = large surfactant aggregates, given as percent (w/w) of all BALF phospholipids. PC (phosphatidylcholine); PG (phosphatidylglycerol); PS (phosphatidylserine); PI (phosphatidylinositol); PE (phosphatidylethanolamine); SPH (sphingomyelin); Fatty acids were dermined in the BAL total lipid fraction and are given as percent (w/w) of all fatty acids. PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids in the total lipid fraction); TL 16:0 (palmitic acid in the total lipid fraction). AA = Arachidonic acid, EPA = Eicospentaenoic acid
