Figure 5. Leptin stimulates surfactant phospholipid synthesis by fetal lung type II cells.

Figure 5

E19 fetal rat lung type II cells were incubated with leptin for 24h and exposed to 3H-choline chloride for the last 4h. The type II cell lamellar body fractions were subsequently assayed for 3H-saturated phosphatidylcholine content. Each bar represents the mean±standard deviation, n=5,*p< .05, **p< .01, control(C) versus leptin treated by analysis of variance.
