21 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Recently, we have suggested that down-regulation of homeostatic mesenchymal peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ signaling after in utero nicotine exposure might contribute to asthma. Here, we have exploited an in vivo rat model of asthma to determine if the effects of perinatal nicotine exposure on offspring pulmonary function and mesenchymal markers of airway contractility in both tracheal and lung...
