Sex difference in the inhaled tartaric acid cough threshold in non-atopic healthy subjects.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The threshold for cough induced by inhaled tartaric acid was measured in 71 non-atopic healthy volunteers. The cough threshold was lower in women than in men, which may be relevant to previous reports that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors induce cough more frequently in women than in men.

Cough threshold to inhaled tartaric acid and bronchial responsiveness to methacholine in patients with asthma and sino-bronchial syndrome.
To evaluate the effect of chronic airway inflammation on cough sensitivity and bronchial responsiveness, we measured the cough threshold to tartaric acid and bronchial responsiveness to methacholine (PC20-FEV1) in 13 asthmatic, 13 bronchitic (sino-bronchial syndrome) and 49 healthy non-atopic subjects. All subjects were non-smokers. The geometric mean value of the cough threshold was 9.55, 5.62...
متن کاملCough receptor sensitivity and bronchial responsiveness in normal and asthmatic subjects.
We examined whether airway cough receptor sensitivity correlates to nonspecific bronchial responsiveness. We measured cough threshold, the lowest concentration of inhaled tartaric acid eliciting five or more coughs, and the provocative concentration of methacholine producing a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume in one second (PC20FEV1) in 38 normal and 11 asthmatic subjects. All subjects were...
متن کاملFemale gender as a determinant of cough threshold to inhaled capsaicin.
Chronic, nonproductive cough and cough associated with the use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, are more frequently observed in females as compared to males. To examine the influence of sex, age, height, weight and pulmonary function on airway cough sensitivity, cough threshold to inhaled capsaicin, an index of the airway cough sensitivity, was measured in 160 nonsmoking, nonatopic ...
متن کاملEffect of oral mexiletine on the cough response to capsaicin and tartaric acid.
BACKGROUND The effect of the orally active local anaesthetic mexiletine on the cough response to two different tussive agents, a C-fibre ending stimulator capsaicin and a chemostimulant tartaric acid, was examined in normal subjects. METHODS The cough threshold, defined as the lowest concentration of capsaicin (C(5)-CP) or tartaric acid (C(5)-TA) causing five or more coughs, and histamine ind...
متن کاملAging deteriorated perception of urge-to-cough without changing cough reflex threshold to citric acid in female never-smokers
BACKGROUND The effect of aging on the cognitive aspect of cough has not been studied yet. The purpose of this study is to investigate the aging effect on the perception of urge-to-cough in healthy individuals. METHODS Fourteen young, female, healthy never-smokers were recruited via public postings. Twelve elderly female healthy never-smokers were recruited from a nursing home residence. The c...
