... study, we evaluated the airway retention time of aerosolized xylitol using two methods. We previously reported the safety of aerosolized xylitol in normal volun- teers. We now show that xylitol ... in airway epithelium in vitro. We tested the airway retention time of aerosolized iso-osmotic xylitol in healthy volunteers. Methods: After a screening spirometry, volunte...

A tendency towards an increased airway contractile response to des- Arg 9 -bradykinin and bradykinin was seen already after 2 days of nicotine treatment ... (NF-B) [20,22]. One of the hypotheses of the present study is that long-term exposure to nicotine can induce activation of airway MAPK-mediated inflammatory signal path...
