Abstract excerpt
Beta2-Adrenergic agonists stimulate alveolar epithelial sodium (Na(+)) transport and lung fluid clearance. Alveolar type II (AT2) cells have been reported to express beta2-adrenergic receptors (beta2AR). Given the large surface area covered by alveolar type I (AT1) cells and their potential role in alveolar fluid removal, we were interested in learning if AT1 cells express beta2AR as well. Because beta2AR is...
