Abstract

TLQP-21 is a neuropeptide expressed in the brain that is involved in the control of energy homeostasis. In preliminary experiments we have observed that TLQP-21 can modulate macrophage function. In Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) macrophage seems to play a critical role, contributing to lung remodeling.
