Cholinergic bronchomotor tone and airway caliber in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
It has been suggested that the autonomic bronchomotor tone may be altered in diabetes. In the present study, we assessed the cholinergic bronchomotor tone in 34 insulin-dependent diabetic patients and in a control group of 32 healthy subjects (group C). As an index of the intensity of cholinergic tone to the airways, we measured the increase in specific airway conductance (Gaw/VL) induced by ae...
متن کاملEffect of nifedipine on bronchomotor tone and histamine reactivity in asthma.
it is difficult to explain how successful resuscitation is possible after 40 minutes' submersion.2 The reduced oxygen requirement in profound hypothermia has been suggested by some authors as the mechanism by which tissue viability is maintained in these circumstances,2 but this alone is an incomplete explanation, as for the submerged body to cool to a degree at which oxygen requirements are su...
متن کاملPulmonary function, cholinergic bronchomotor tone, and cardiac autonomic abnormalities in type 2 diabetic patients.
This prospective study analyzed the involvement of the autonomic nervous system in pulmonary and cardiac function by evaluating cardiovascular reflex and its correlation with pulmonary function abnormalities of type 2 diabetic patients. Diabetic patients (N = 17) and healthy subjects (N = 17) were evaluated by 1) pulmonary function tests including spirometry, He-dilution method, N2 washout test...
متن کاملReflex regulation of airway smooth muscle tone.
Autonomic nerves in most mammalian species mediate both contractions and relaxations of airway smooth muscle. Cholinergic-parasympathetic nerves mediate contractions, whereas adrenergic-sympathetic and/or noncholinergic parasympathetic nerves mediate relaxations. Sympathetic-adrenergic innervation of human airway smooth muscle is sparse or nonexistent based on histological analyses and plays li...
متن کاملEffect of inspiratory flow rate on bronchomotor tone in normal and asthmatic subjects.
The effect of the inspiratory flow rate during deep inspiration on the regulation of bronchomotor tone was studied in nine normal and 22 asthmatic subjects. Changes in bronchial tone were assessed by respiratory resistance measured by an oscillation method. In normal subjects with bronchoconstriction induced by methacholine a rapid deep inspiration reduced respiratory resistance more than a slo...
