Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by various cell types in the human respiratory tract. Endogenously produced nitric oxide is detectable in the exhaled air of healthy individuals. Exhaled NO has been shown to be increased in airway inflammation, most probably due to cytokine-mediated activation of NO sy
The measurement of exhaled nitric oxide concentrations [NO] may provide a simple, noninvasive means for measuring airway inflammation. However, several measurement conditions may influence exhaled NO levels, and ambient NO may be one of these. We measured exhaled NO levels in 47 stable asthmatic chi
