Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Lungs of capsaicin-pretreated guinea pigs showed decreased sulphur dioxide-induced bronchoconstriction. Release of CGRP neuropeptide: significantly increased from start to termination of exposure; no release from lungs of capsaicin-pretreated guinea pigs.
Bronchoconstriction, induced in isolated guinea pig lung by in vitro exposure to 250 ppm sulphur dioxide, was accompanied by the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves into the pulmonary circulation.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Bronchoconstriction, induced in isolated guinea pig lung byin vitro exposure to 250 ppm sulfur dioxide, was accompanied by the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves into the pulmonary circulation.
