The contributions of amiloride-sensitive and -insensitive fractions of alveolar fluid clearance in adult ventilated rats were studied under control conditions and after beta -adrenergic stimulation. Rats were instilled with a 5% albumin solution…
We investigated the importance of changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)) for amiloride-sensitive alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) in late-gestational guinea pigs. Fetal guinea pigs of 61, 68, and 69 days (term) gestation were…
