Influence of Sanao Tang on urine volume and expression of aquaporin 2 in rats with respiratory function impairment induced by passive smoking and lipopolysaccharide

SAT might effectively regulate the urine volume in the modeled rats; ADH, Ang II, ANP, ET-1, NO and PGE2 might play an important role in the regulation on urine volume by lungs. This might be the mechanisms underpinning the function of lung governing water passage in terms of the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
