Popis: Dry air hyperventilation provokes airway narrowing in asthmatics. The mechanism is thought to involve the release of inflammatory mediators in response to airway osmolarity. The response to inhaled histamine on lung mechanics and the ion content of the airway subepithelial connective tissue after dry gas hyperventilation was investigated in rabbits. Resistance increased more after histamine given after hyperventilation with dry gas compared to humid gas (P
