(AE2), [μm3]- Note. All data on AE2 and their lamellar bodies are given as mean (CV). Definition of abbreviations and symbols:
= number-weighted mean volume; V = volume; AE2 = alveolar epithelial type II cells; N = nucleus; M = mitochondria; Lb = lamellar body; § = data from Fehrenbach et al. [23]; * = p < 0.05 vs. control; †= p < 0.05 vs. Celsior.
