  • Title: Increased alveolar epithelial permeability in cigarette smokers.
    Author: Jones JG, Minty BD, Lawler P, Hulands G, Crawley JC, Veall N.
    Journal: Lancet; 1980 Jan 12; 1(8159):66-8. PubMed ID: 6101416.
    Abstract:
    Two indices of alveolar epithelial permeability were derived in man by a non-invasive method. The rate of transfer of 99mTc DTPA (diethylenetriamine penta-acetate) from the lung into the blood was measured and a significantly greater (P less than 0.001) transfer rate was found in symptomless cigarette smokers compared with non-smokers.
