Figure 3From: The effects of salbutamol on epithelial ion channels depend on the etiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome but not the route of administrationGene expression of channels associated with alveolar fluid clearance and pulmonary edema formation. ENaC-α = alpha subunit of the epithelial sodium channel; Na-K-ATPase-α = alpha subunit of the Na-K-ATPase; AQP-1 = aquaporin 1; AQP-3 = aquaporin 3. Differences between groups (SALB vs. CTRL; SALB-iv vs. SALB-it) were tested separately for ARDSp and ARDSexp using one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni correction. Statistical significance was accepted at α = 0.05. All values are expressed as mean and standard deviation. ** = p < 0.01; *** = p < 0.001 vs. CTRL; # = p < 0.05; ## = p < 0.01 vs. SALB-i.t.; NI = non-injured controls; CTRL = control; SALB = salbutamol; i.t. = intratracheally; i.v. = intravenously; ARDSp = pulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome; ARDSexp = extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome.Back to article page
