Partial sensory denervation of the upper respiratory tract on allergen- and histamine-induced bronchoconstriction.
The influence of partial denervation of the upper part of the respiratory tract on histamine- and antigen-induced bronchoconstriction was investigated in a series of 12 boxer dogs. To achieve this purpose, the superior laryngeal, hypoglossal and glossopharyngeal nerves were sectioned. The prophylactic effect of unilateral transection of these nerves on antigen-induced bronchoconstriction originating in the upper respiratory tract could be demonstrated.
