Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive airflow
obstruction and a neutrophilic inflammation. Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) may be a marker of …

The following study was undertaken in order to determine how exhaled nitric oxide (eNO)
levels in former smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared to …

BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role as an inflammatory mediator in the
airways. Since chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by airway …

Study objectives To test the hypothesis that exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is increased in patients
with chronic bronchitis, and to compare the results with exhaled NO in patients with asthma …

Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) production in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) has been loosely related to the severity of illness, being significantly reduced in the …

There has been intense research into the role nitric oxide (NO) plays in physiological and
pathological mechanisms and its clinical significance in respiratory medicine. Elevated …

Excessive inflammation seems important in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
particularly during exacerbations of the disease. Exhaled nitric oxide concentration …

BACKGROUND Increased levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) have been reported in
asthmatic subjects but little information is available on eNO in patients with advanced …

Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) appears to be associated with airway inflammation seen in
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present authors studied the effects of …

BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in inflammation and host defence of the lung. It
has been found in increased concentrations in the airways in asthmatic subjects but its …
