The discovery of mechanisms that regulate salt and water transport by the alveolar and distal airway epithelium of the lung has generated new insights into the regulation of lung fluid balance under both normal and pathological conditions. There is…

Resolution of pulmonary edema involved active transepithelial sodium transport. Although several of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved are relatively well understood, it is only recently that the regulation of these mechanisms in injured…

Stimulation of active fluid transport with beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) agonists can accelerate the resolution of alveolar edema. However, chronic betaAR-agonist administration may cause betaAR desensitization and downregulation that may impair…

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…

We tested the hypothesis that labor-induced epinephrine release would stimulate alveolar fluid clearance in preterm fetuses. Preterm fetuses were obtained by cesarean section from timed-pregnant guinea pigs at 61-69 days postconception. Fetal guinea…
