Effect of two models of intrauterine growth restriction on alveolarization in rat lungs: morphometric and gene expression analysis.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in preterm infants increases the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, characterized by arrested alveolarization. We evaluated the impact of two different rat models (nitric oxide synthase inhibition or protein deprivation) of IUGR on alveolarization, before, dur...
