Abstract
⺠We used a model of smoking guinea pig with/without exposure to sustained hypoxia. ⺠Each stressor separately increased airways resistance. ⺠Concomitant alterations in bronchiolar structure were observed. ⺠Association of both stressors worsens all the above parameters in an additive manner. ⺠Appearance of hypoxia in the lung ill patients asks for a prompt intervention.
