An Investigation Into the Molecular Pathways of Airway Smooth Muscle Relaxation

This paper investigates the effect of superimposed length oscillation (SILO) on tidal breathing on contracted airway smooth muscle (ASM) relaxation. The combined effect of SILO with each one of four inhibitors (Isoproterenol, Indomethacin, PD0980590 and SB 203580) is investigated to explore the molecular pathways involved in the tissue relaxation process.
