Abstract:The influence of a minimal surgical transection around the trachea on ACH- and allergen-induced bronchoconstriction was studied in a series of 21 cats. A significant smaller bronchoconstriction was observed after surgical transection around the trachea. The trachea isolation itself induced a smaller nonsignificant bronchoconstrictive response. This diminished response of the airways after this surgical intervention assumes an interruption of syncytial connections, which alters the response to bronchoconstricti… Show more
