The effect of metabolic inhibitors, piretanide, somatostatin and insulin on fluid secretion by in vitro fetal lungs from guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus)

This study introduced the isolated lungs of fetal guinea pigs as a new preparation for the investigation of prenatal lung physiology. It established their basic properties by the use of metabolic inhibitors and the CI- transport inhibitor, piretanide. In addition, the effects of two naturally occurr...
