Influence of genetic variation of the alpha-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) on baseline pulmonary function and exhaled sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-) in healthy subjects and patients with cystic fibrosis
Class of 2012 Abstract === Specific Aims: The epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) found on the apical membranes of epithelial cells including those lining the respiratory tract are the rate limiting step of the absorption of excess fluid from the airspace of the alveoli. ENaC function is modulated by...
