The data suggest that seal serum possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which may protect deep divers from naturally occurring inflammatory challenges such as dive-induced hypoxia–reoxygenation and lung collapse.

High-resolution 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to analyze the phospholipid composition of mammalian pulmonary surfactant from two different sources and unequivocally demonstrate that a phosphocholine plasmalogen exists as a major secondary component in mammalian pulmonary Surfactant.
