The lung is an important metabolic organ. Glucose provides the major source of substrate. Oxidative pathways are active and are required to maintain normal tissue energy stores. Synthetic activity in the lung is extensive and related mainly to synthesis of dipalmitoyl lecithin and other components of the lung surfactant system. The lung plays an important role in the metabolism of xenobiotics and endogenous hormones leading to degradation as well as activation of important biologic properties.
肺是一个重要的代谢器官。葡萄糖提供主要的底物来源。氧化途径活跃,是维持正常组织能量储备所必需的。肺中的合成活动广泛,主要与二棕榈酰卵磷脂和肺表面活性物质系统的其他成分的合成有关。肺在异生物素和内源性激素的代谢中起重要作用,导致其降解以及重要生物学特性的激活。
