  1. The table shows mean values and standard deviations. The comparisons between groups were performed by ANOVA. FEV1 forced expiratory volume in one second, FVC forced vital capacity, ITGV intrathoracic gas volume, TLC total lung capacity, RV residual volume, Raw, airway resistance, sRaw specific airway resistance
