Activation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) leads to cytokine profile shift to pro‐inflammatory in labor

Abstract The shift of cytokine profile from anti‐ to pro‐inflammatory is the most recognizable sign of labor, although the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report that the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is upregulated and activated in the uterus at labor in mice. Mechanical activatio...
