The effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was examined on baseline and on methacholine- and phenylephrine-stimulated smooth muscle tone, mucus volume and lysozyme outputs, and epithelial albumin transport of the ferret whole trachea in vitro. H2O2 (10 microM-10 mM) had no significant effect on tracheal

With the ferret liquid-filled trachea in vitro, intraluminal methacholine (MCh), phenylephrine (PE) and histamine (Hist) increased smooth muscle tone and salbutamol (Salb) decreased tone. Lysozyme output was increased by intraluminal MCh and PE. Albumin transport into the lumen was not altered by in
SUMMARY: In the ferret liquid-filled trachea in vivo, intraluminal bradykinin (BK, 3-300 \(\mu\) ) produced concentration-dependent increases in the output of lysozyme from submucosal gland serous cells and albumin movement into the lumen. Baseline outputs of albumin and lysozyme were not altered si
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for post-menopausal symptoms in diabetes is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Therefore, there is a need for new HRT with no adverse effects on diabetic post-menopausal women. We developed peptides as potential estrogen mimetic com
