We have investigated the changes in airway reactivity induced in guinea-pigs by passive cigarette smoke exposure. In particular, we studied the development of airway hyperresponsiveness both in vivo and in vitro after passive exposure of the animals to cigarette smoke in a plexiglass box. Passive sm

Exposure to cigarette smoke is associated with increased airway responsiveness to different stimuli, both in human and animal studies. However, the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of smoke-induced airway hyperreactivity are less clear. We investigated the development of airway hyperreactivit
Increased airway reactivity and influx of inflammatory cells into the airways have been demonstrated both in smokers and after smoke exposure in animal studies. We investigated the ability of nedocromil sodium and hydrocortisone to protect from the pathological alterations induced by direct cigarett
