Ferulic acid ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced tracheal injury via cGMP/PKGII signaling pathway
Abstract Background Tracheal injury is a common clinical condition that still lacks an effective therapy at present. Stimulation of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) increases Na+ transport, which is a driving force to keep tracheal mucosa free edema fluid during tracheal injury. Ferulic acid (FA) ha...
