Effects of Cl 2 on methacholine respiratory system resistance and elastance. Panel A shows the effects of Cl2 exposure on total respiratory system resistance in mice that were treated with before and 1 hour after exposure with DMTU. A two-way ANOVA showed that there is a significant difference between mice pre- or post-treated with DMTU when compared to animals receiving Cl2 only. Panel B shows the effects of Cl2 exposure and DMTU treatment on total respiratory system elastance. DMTU/Cl2 treated animals had elastance levels similar to control whereas Cl2 only treated mice had significantly higher values compared to control: n = 6 per group; * p < 0.05.
