Animal models of airway hyperresponsiveness.
I read with much interest the review by MEURS et al. [1], in which they examined the relative merits of several animal models of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and the insights these models provide into the mechanisms of airway physiology and pathophysiology. The study appropriately focused on the role of nitric oxide (NO) as a transmitter of the inhibitory (i.e. relaxant) nonadrenergic, non...
متن کاملBronchial hyperresponsiveness: animal models and clinical aspects
The environmental disaster following flooding by red sludge in the Ajka region in Hungary poses a seriouspublic health threat with particular concern regarding the potentially adverse respiratory effects of theinhalation of red sludge dust (RSD). The respiratory consequences of the inhalation of RSD obtained fromfield samples were investigated in rats. Rats were either exposed to RS...
متن کاملAirway hyperresponsiveness in asthma: lessons from in vitro model systems and animal models.
Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a hallmark clinical symptom of asthma. At least two components of AHR have been identified: 1) baseline AHR, which is persistent and presumably caused by airway remodelling due to chronic recurrent airway inflammation; and 2) acute and variable AHR, which is associated with an episodic increase in airway inflammation due to environmental factors such as aller...
متن کاملVirus-induced Airway Hyperresponsiveness
Intratracheal inoculation of parainfluenza type 3 virus to guinea pigs induces a marked increase in airway responsiveness in vivo and in vitro. In spontaneously breathing anesthetized guinea pigs inhalation of an aerosol containing the nitric oxide (NO) precursor L-argimine (2.0 mM) completely prevented the virus-induced airway hyperresponsiveness to histamine. In addition, perfusion of L-argin...
متن کاملP119: Animal Models of Epilepsy: The Impact of some Chemoconvalsants on Animal Models
We summarize some of the most frequenthly used rodent animal models of temporal lobe epileps and the impact of chemoconvulsants on them. Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common epilepsy in humans in which seizures spread to the neighboring cortiase and hippocampal neuron loss and other neuropathological take place. Temporal lobe epilepsy and the other form of epilepsy cannot acquired in chini...
