respiratory system
|
• mice exhibit alveolar simplification on P21
|
|
• alveolar 2 epithelial cells from tamoxifen-treated mice contain more mitochondria close to the cell surface than in controls
|
cellular
|
• maximal respiration capacity of alveolar 2 epithelial cells cell mitochondria is decreased and alveolar 2 epithelial cells show reduced glycolysis, glycolytic capacity, and glycolytic reserve, indicating mitochondrial dysfunction
• however, no differences in basal respiration are detected by oxygen consumption
