Epithelium-dependent regulation of airways smooth muscle function. A histamine-nitric oxide pathway

Gourgoulianis, K.; Iliodromitis, C. Z.; Hatziefthimiou, A.; Molyvdas, P. A. (1998)

The airway epithelium is responsible for the production of a number of arachidonic acid and non-prostanoid inhibitory factors. Epithelium synthesizes nitric oxide (NO) which may be important in regulating the function of ...

Resting tension effect on airway smooth muscle: the involvement of epithelium

Hatziefthimiou, A. A.; Karetsi, E.; Pratzoudis, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2005)

We studied the influence of resting tension (RT) on rabbit tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) contractions induced by acetylcholine or KCl as well as the role of epithelium and the endogenously produced nitric oxide, prostanoids ...
