Content of total lipids, phospholipids and cholesterol was estimated in surface-active fraction isolated from rabbit lungs. The surface activity and antiradical properties were decreased in the fraction simultaneously with a decrease in phospholipid contents in the course of development of inflammatory process in bronchopulmonary tissue. These data suggested that the antiradical activity, which is essential for protection of the surface-active fraction against free radical peroxidation, was mainly due to the phospholipid component.
