Abstract
Recent advances in developmental biology suggest that alterations in functional maturation of specific organs may serve as a model to assess adverse effects of environmental factors. Maturation of the mammalian lung depends on integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis controlling glucocorticoid production and interference with this system retards or prevents acquisition by the lung of factors essential for extrauterine existence.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
