Role of nitric oxide in airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in bronchial asthma
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced within the airways and has a variety of actions on the airway function. Nitric oxide is a potent bronchodilator, and NO released from airway epithelial cells and inhibitory nonadrenergic non-cholinergic nerve terminals may attenuate airway hyperresponsiveness. However,...
