The Sex Difference in Fetal Lung Surfactant Production
John S. Torday,Heber C. Nielsen +1 more
TL;DR: The Sex Difference in Fetal Lung Surfactant Production: as mentioned in this paper The sex difference in fetal lung SURfactant production was studied in the context of experimental lung cancer research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in fetal lung maturation.
TL;DR: There is a biochemical basis for the increased risk of respiratory distress syndrome in male infants, and it is concluded that female infants had higher indexes of pulmonary maturity than did male Infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Pulmonary Surfactant Protein A (SP-A) Gene and Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Interaction with SP-B
TL;DR: SP-A alleles/genotypes and SP-B variant may contribute to the etiology of RDS and/or may serve as markers for disease subgroups and be performed separately for black and white populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dihydrotestosterone Inhibits Fetal Rabbit Pulmonary Surfactant Production
TL;DR: It is concluded that androgens inhibit fetal pulmonary surfactant production and may allow development of therapy that is as effective in males as in females for preventing RDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

MaryAnn V. Volpe,Lucia Pham,Marc S. Lessin,Steven J. Ralston,Ina Bhan,Ernest Cutz,Heber C. Nielsen +6 more
TL;DR: Hoxb-5 expression during human lung branching morphogenesis, which is similar to that observed in mouse lung development, indicates that it plays a role in controlling airway patterning.
