Influence of glucocorticoids, neuregulin-1[Beta], and sex on surfactant phospholipid secretion from type II cells

Glucocorticoids induce lung fibroblasts to produce fibroblast-pneumocyte factor, a peptide that stimulates type II cells to synthesize pulmonary surfactant. This effect is known to be more apparent in cells derived from female fetuses, a characteristic that has been attributed to sex-linked differen...
