Influence of Alveolar Fluid on Aquaporins and Na+/K+-ATPase and Its Possible Theoretical or Clinical Significance

Conclusion The results of this study suggest that increased alveolar fluid may induce the downregulation of the mRNA and protein expression of AQPs and Na+/K+-ATPase, which appear to affect alveolar fluid clearance in rabbit lungs. Early intervention is required to avoid excessive alveolar fluid accumulation.
