Abstract
To determine whether arachidonic acid (AA) alters alveolar epithelial permeability, we studied the effect of both continuous intravenous and aerosolized AA on clearance of [99m]Tc-DTPA from lung to blood in rabbits. Although intravenous AA increased prostacylin production and aerosolized AA decreased systemic blood pressure, neither continuous intravenous nor aerosolized AA augmented alveolar epithelial permeability.
