Does methylprednisolone reduce airway microvascular permeability but not airway resistance induced by N-formylmethionine leucyl-phenylalanine in the rabbit?
These results show that methylprednisolone can significantly reduce N-formylmethionine leucyl-phenylalanine-induced MVP without affecting airway resistance.
This study design was limited in its cross-sectional nature. Potential selection, measurement, and recall bias may have occurred, and methodology used to classify sarcopenia status based on skeletal muscle mass index is not validated.
