Hypertonic challenge to porcine vocal folds: Effects on epithelial barrier function

OBJECTIVE: Dehydration challenges can increase the chemical composition of surface fluid overlying vocal fold epithelia (hypertonic surface fluid). The vocal fold epithelium is posited to act as a barrier, shielding the lamina propria from perturbations in the airway lumen. However, the effects of h...
