Age and Ageing, 1985
Studies of lung function have largely ignored the elderly. This paper reviews what is known of the decline in measurements of lung function, and focuses on reduced elastic recoil as a key to these changes. Independent anthropometric changes which may affect lung function with advancing years are also discussed.

The metabolic function of the lung
Pharmaceutisch Weekblad Scientific Edition, 1987Whereas the respiratory function of the lung has been studied extensively, there are only scarce data available concerning the lung's drug clearance capabilities in man. Its metabolic function in hormonally active agents has been documented in animals.

On the function and design of the lung
The Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics, 1962The purpose of this paper is to explore further the possibilities of a theory of structure (form) as determined by function. The paper is preliminary in nature and emphasis is placed more on the methodological approach than on immediately verifiable conclusions.

Urinary Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Metabolites and Altered Lung Function in Wuhan, China.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2016RATIONALE Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been associated with adverse effects on the respiratory system. However, the association between internal levels of PAH metabolites and lung function levels remains unclear.

The main purpose of respiration is to increase the oxygen content and decrease the carbon dioxide content of the blood in the pulmonary circulation to levels suitable for metabolism in the body. This is done by breathing a gas mixture, usually the atmospheric one. In this paper I shall refer to the whole gas transport as the lung function. In reviewing

Lung Development, Lung Function, and Retinoids
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010In this issue of the Journal, Checkley et al. report that, in a region with endemic vitamin A (retinol) deficiency, children whose mothers had received vitamin A supplementation before, during, and for 6 months after pregnancy had better lung function when they were tested at 9 to 11 years of age than children whose mothers had received beta carotene ...

Factors affecting normal values for ventilatory lung function.
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015As part of an epidemiologic survey in New Guinea, forced vital capacity, one-second forced expiratory volume, subdivisions of lung volume, and peak expiratory flow were measured in a population living in the highlands and in a population living on the ...
