Abstract
⺠We studied the effect of prenatal captopril treatment on lung development. ⺠We observed impaired alveolarization with increased interalveolar wall distance. ⺠Increased PCNA and α-SMA suggest that developing lungs have the capacity to recover. ⺠Renin-angiotensin system is required for alveolarization during lung development.
