Popis: It was shown in two different provocation models (nasal and bronchial provocation) that substance P (SP) may play an important role in the neurogenic inflammatory response in upper and lower airway disease. (1) Pretreatment with SP augments the antigen challenge response of the nasal mucosa. (2) The baseline bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) concentrations of SP are elevated 8-fold in allergies (pollen asthma) as compared with normals, even outside of season. (3) The SP concentration in BAL increases significantly (p
