## Abstract We describe a new experimental animal model which mimics closely the bronchoconstrictor effects of adenosine in asthmatics. Brown Norway (BN) rats were sensitized to ovalbumin (OA). Subsequent challenge with OA induced a marked and selective airway hyperresponsiveness to adenosine. The
Responsiveness to inhaled histamine and DL propranolol hydrochloride was measured in 31 adult asthmatics and compared with bronchoconstriction provoked by acute oral propranolol dosing (max 160 mg). Twelve asthmatics developed greater than or equal to 15% reduction in the forced expired volume in 1
Recurrent cough and asthma are common problems in children. In the evaluation of children with recurrent cough, the sequential measurements of airway responsiveness (AR) and capsaicin cough receptor sensitivity may be useful. However, the effect of capsaicin on AR induced by an indirect stimulus suc
