| Baseline values prior to randomized treatments | ||
|---|---|---|
| FP/SM | FP | |
| Methacholine PD20 (µg) | 105 (30) | 108 (31) |
| Exhaled nitric oxide (p.p.b.) | 9.1 (1.2) | 7.3 (1.5) |
| FEV1 (% predicted) | 90 (2) | 90 (3) |
| FEF25−75 (% predicted) | 60 (5) | 61 (6) |
| Morning expiratory peak flow (L min−1) | 440 (24) | 431 (24) |
| Overnight urinary cortisol/creatinine (nmol mmol−1) | 6.18 (1.03) | 6.11 (1.37) |
Values are means (SE) except methacholine PD20, nitric oxide and overnight urinary cortisol/creatinine, which are expressed as geometric means (SE). FEV1, Forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FEF25–75, forced mid expiratory flow.
