Fig. 3From: Modulation of human airway smooth muscle biology by human adipocytesContractility of bovine tracheal strips in the presence of human adipocyte-conditioned media. Bovine ASM strips were hung in baths filled with Krebs or 1:2 dilutions (in Krebs) of 0% FBS adipocyte media (CTRL), intrathoracic (i) & extrathoracic (e) adipocyte-conditioned media. The data are expressed as the percent KCl contraction (a) or a reversal of the carbachol tone (b) with increasing strengths of isoproterenol, mean (%) ± SEM, n = 6 (donors)Back to article page
