BackgroundChronic alcohol exposure alters the function of alveolar macrophages (AM), impairing immune defenses in both adult and neonatal lungs. Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are biological markers of prenatal alcohol exposure in newborns. FAEEs contribute to alcohol‐induced mitochondrial (MT) damage in multiple organs. We hypothesized that in utero ethanol exposure would increase FAEEs in the neonatal...
Although pulmonary function is not altered, a history of alcohol abuse is an independent outcome variable in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome. In the absence of cirrhosis, alcohol abuse decreased glutathione, the key antioxidant lining the alveolar space, by 80% and is associated with alveolar barrier leak. Neither the glutathione pool nor barrier leak was corrected by abstinence...
