The renin-angiotensin system is activated in acute severe asthma. The precise mechanism of activation is at present unknown, but may involve, beta2-agonists, catecholamines or proteases released in airway inflammation. This study aims to identify pot

Publisher Summary Circulating hormones and vasoactive peptides play a minor role in the physiological regulation of airway tone in normal individuals. Adrenaline is the only hormone known to influence bronchomotor tone, and it is only during strenuou

Airway remodelling occurs in chronic asthma. Angiotensin II promotes growth in cardiovascular remodelling. Since the renin-angiotensin system is activated in acute severe asthma, we hypothesized that angiotensin II has a role in airway remodelling. A

The renin-angiotensin system is activated in acute severe asthma. Angiotensin II causes bronchoconstriction in mild asthmatics and potentiates methacholine-evoked bronchoconstriction both in vitro and in vivo.To evaluate the effect of angiotensin II

BACKGROUND: Recent in vitro and in vivo studies in animals have suggested that ambient oxygen tension may influence airway responsiveness to bronchoconstrictor stimuli. These observations may have relevance to the management of acute exacerbations of

BACKGROUND: Recent animal studies have suggested that changes in oxygen tension may alter airway responses to bronchoconstrictor and bronchodilator stimuli. These effects may have relevance to the management of acute exacerbations of asthma but have
