The animals were divided into sham, sham+ hyperglycemia, ALI, ALI + hyperglycemia, ALI + inhaled bumetanide (NKCC1 inhibitor) pretreatment, ALI + hyperglycemia + inhalational bumetanide pretreatment, and ALI + hyperglycemia + post-ALI inhalational bumetanide groups. Here, SLC12A2 is linked to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
