In Vitro Airway Responsiveness of Flinders Sensitive and Resistant Line Rats
Abstract
Recently, we reported that freely moving Flinders sensitive line rats (FSL, selectively bred for their cholinergic hyperresponsiveness) are more susceptible to allergen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness than their control counterparts-Flinders resistant line (FRL) rats. In this study the two Flinders lines were compared for responsiveness of excised tracheal and primary bronchial smooth muscle in vitro. FSL tissues were slightly but …
