Tracheal Mucus Flow Rates in Experimental Bronchitis in Rats

Norah M Lightowler, J R B Williams
PMCID: PMC2072154  PMID: 5772066

Abstract

The flow of mucus in the trachea of rats previously exposed to an atmosphere of SO2 in air was measured and correlated with the histological changes in the trachea, bronchi and lungs.

Reduction in the speed of mucus flow in the exposed trachea was found with increasing severity of bronchopulmonary changes.
