Popis: Release of broncho-active mediators from mast cells during exercise hyperpnoea is a key factor in the pathophysiology of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). Our aim was to investigate the effect of a standard, single dose of an inhaled β2-adrenoceptor agonist on mast cell activation in response to dry air hyperpnoea in athletes with EIB. Twenty-seven athletes with EIB completed a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Terbutaline (0.5 mg) or placebo was inhaled15 min prior to 8 min of eucapnic voluntary hyperpnoea (EVH) with dry air. Pre- and post-bronchial challenge, urine samples were analysed by enzyme immunoassay for 11β-prostaglandin(PG)F2α. The maximum fall in forced expiratory volume in 1 sec(FEV1) of 14 (12-20)% (median and interquartile range) following placebo was attenuated to 7 (5-9)% with the administration of terbutaline (P
