title: Sensory neuropeptides are involved in cigarette smoke induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea-pig.
abstract: Acute cigarette smoke exposure in anaesthetized guinea-pigs resulted in non-specific airway hyperreactivity associated with inflammatory cell influx within the lung. Sensory neuropeptides seem to be involved in the genesis of smoke induced airway hyperreactivity.
