Lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DlCO) and its components, the alveolar capillary membrane diffusing capacity (Dm), and lung capillary blood volume (Vc), and circulating CD34+CD133+ progenitor cells over the menstrual cycle in women with asthma and healthy women. Circulating levels of CD34+CD133+ progenitor cells also change over time in women with asthma similar to healthy women. Closed circles represent women with asthma and open circles represent healthy control subjects. Asterisks represent significant changes from Week 1 (all P < 0.05).
