Normalisation of surfactant protein -A and -B expression in the lungs of low birth weight lambs by 21 days old.

Normalisation of surfactant protein -A and -B expression in the lungs of low birth weight lambs by 21 days old.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) induced by placental restriction (PR) in the sheep negatively impacts lung and pulmonary surfactant development during fetal life. Using a sheep model of low birth weight (LBW), we found that there was an increase in mRNA expression of surfactant protein (SP)-A...
