Lung development is a methodical and co-ordinated process that
culminates in the creation of an organ that contains airways,
alveoli, blood vessels, multiple innate and acquired host defence
systems, and processes to weaken the harmful effects of oxygen in
the environment. By regulating cellular differentiation and
branching morphogenesis, vitamin A plays an essential role during
lung development. Retinoic acid is required for normal alveolar
development and vitamin A administration increases lung's elastic
fibre contents at birth. Additionally, several experiments showed
that retinoic acid restores alveolar architecture to
dexamethasone-treated lungs and maintains alveolar development in
lungs treated with an angiogenic inhibitor. This book discusses and
presents data on vitamin A and its role in lung development.
