Abstract

This study's objective was to identify and compare the localization of Aquaporin (AQP) 1, 4, 7, Na+/K + -ATPase, E-cadherin, zona occludin (ZO)-1, and occludin in human and rabbit vocal folds (VF)s to inform the design of future studies to explore the function of these proteins in the regulation of VF homeostasis.
