Does alveolar-membrane diffusing capacity improve in the morbidly obese after bariatric surgery?
Alveolar-membrane diffusion normalizes within 10 weeks after bariatric surgery. This is likely due to the increase in alveolar volume from the reduction in the waist-to-hip ratio.
The increased expression of clusterin following KA injection in the rat retina suggests the presence of neurodegenerative events; citicoline may provide neuroprotection against neuronal cell damage.
