AIRWAY HYPERRESPONSIVENESS
Naïve | Vehicle | Dexamethasone | |
---|---|---|---|
Transpulmonary resistance (percent of saline control at 25 mg/ml methacholine) | 155 ± 19 | 389 ± 65* | 408 ± 62* |
Dynamic compliance (percent of saline control at 25 mg/ml methacholine) | −35.3 ± 3.9 | −73.6 ± 3.9† | −68.2 ± 5.4† |
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
P < 0.05, significant difference compared with naïve animals.
P < 0.001, significant difference compared with naïve animals.
