The intensity of AHR presents wide variabili...
متن کاملMethacoline Challenge test as an Evaluator of Response to Statins in Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), are effective serum cholesterol-lowering agents which also have anti-inflammatory properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin on bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Adult patients (age 14 to 65 years) with bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) diagnosis based on the spirometry with methacholine challe...
