Glycolipid accumulation in bronchoalveolar space in adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Surfactant lipids in the alveolar space are believed to play an important role in normal respiratory function. Although the surface-active phospholipids have been extensively studied, the possible role of glycolipids in the surfactant remains to be explored. We have studied the glycolipid compositio...
