α-Ketoglutarate Modulates Macrophage Polarization Through Regulation of PPARγ Transcription and mTORC1/p70S6K Pathway to Ameliorate ALI/ARDS

ABSTRACTAs tissue-resident cells in the lung, alveolar macrophages display remarkable heterogeneity and play a crucial role in the development and control of septic acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). Recent evidence suggests that α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) plays an importa
