Abstract
The study demonstrated that the pulmonary capillary endothelium contributes to the FBG catabolism for about a 0.02 fractional rate and support the view of an endothelial FBG catabolic pathway as the main catabolic pathway, owing to the fact that the pulmonary endothelial surface is about a 0.1 fraction of the peripheral vessel endothelial surface.
