Supplementation of pulmonary surfactants which retain moderate level of cholesterol and 10 controlled hypothermia for patients are recommended when the hypothesis that the line-active property of the vitamin derivative drives the pathogenesis of EVALI holds. Currently, there are 5 five established non-antioxidative properties of Vitamin E in the biological system: i) its ability to induce gel-liquid crystalline phase transition, ii) its active deposition in the lipid droplet of macrophages, iii) its modulation of the antidiabetic cascade involving diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) and protein kinase C (PKC), iv) its activation of the xenobiotic-sensing pregnane X receptor (PXR) signaling, and v) its ability to modulate lateral phase separation. ./cache/cord-320959-sgdqhtns.txt ./txt/cord-320959-sgdqhtns.txt
