Abstract
These results demonstrate that RT affects the responsiveness of TSM differentially, depending on the agonist or integrity of the epithelium. Airway epithelium modulates acetylcholine-induced contractions, only at 2.5Â g RT partly via NO release. At 0.5Â g RT, the endogenous production of prostanoids by sources other than epithelium modulates the contractility of TSM to acetylcholine.
