Role of alveolar β2-adrenergic receptors on lung fluid clearance and exercise ventilation in healthy humans.

Role of alveolar β2-adrenergic receptors on lung fluid clearance and exercise ventilation in healthy humans.

<h4>Background</h4>In experimental conditions alveolar fluid clearance is controlled by alveolar β2-adrenergic receptors. We hypothesized that if this occurs in humans, then non-selective β-blockers should reduce the membrane diffusing capacity (DM), an index of lung interstitial fluid h...
