[Regarding the effect of bromhexine metabolite VII on lecithin synthesis in fetal lungs (author's transl)].

With the help of incorporated amounts of radioactively labeled choline, it was shown that bromhexine metabolite VIII in vivo (10 mg, 5 mg, 1 mg/kg body weight) and in vitro (100 microgram to 0,01 microgram/g fetal lung tissue) does not stimulate lecithin synthesis in fetal lungs of rats.
