| Abstract: | The process of anaphylactoid response of rats to introduction of egg protein is associated with a decrease of the pulmonary surfactant surface activity. The factors of metabolic surfactant inactivation are as follows: protein accumulation, the disturbance of lipids transport between pulmonary cells and alveolar surface, change in fatty-acidic composition of surfactant phospholipids. The isolation of arachidonic acid from surfactant phospholipids in anaphylactoid shock is an evidence for the participation of the pulmonary surface-active phase in the process of biosynthesis of the lipid mediators in respiratory organs. |
