Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the Penh index as a potential screening tool for airway reactivity and lung response to endotoxins in piglets.
- Researchers measured Penh in both freely moving and anesthetized piglets while exposing them to acetylcholine and endotoxins, observing that Penh increased significantly with both challenges.
- The findings suggest that Penh can effectively indicate airway reactivity and changes in lung function during cholinergic and endotoxin exposure in piglets.
