Oxygen Increases Glutathione Reductase and Glutathione Levels in Developing Lung in Vivo and in Vitro

Abstract

Moment analysis (MA) of MBNW could in theory be a good method of quantifying ventilation inhomogeneity in young children since it requires only quiet breathing of oxygen for <2 minutes and the results are independent of breathing pattern or lung volume. We have developed the software required for on-line MA of MBNW and have performed duplicate studies on 36 healthy children (H) and 10 with cystic fibrosis (CF) ages 3-6 years. Outcome variables
