Developmental Regulation of the type-A Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Receptor (GABA-AR) Signaling in the Fetal Rat Lung

The fetal lung epithelium secretes fluid into the potential pulmonary air-spaces by actively transporting chloride (Cl¯) into the lung lumen. This Cl¯-driven fluid secretion declines with the progression of lung development. Recent studies demonstrate that the A-type γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GA...
