In this study, we demonstrated that glycerol treatment caused the alterations of pulmonary lipid compositions in ddY mice. The increases of total phospholipid (TPL), diacylglyceride (DG), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) + phosphatidylglycerol (PG) contents in the lung were observed by oral administration of 5% glycerol in drinking water for 2 weeks. However, other pulmonary lipid components measured in this study were almost unchanged by this treatment. These results suggest that glycerol treatment might induce changes of pulmonary lipid metabolism in mice.
