Contractile reactions of guinea pig airway smooth muscles in the presence of stannum oxide nanosized particles

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2012 May;153(1):98-100. doi: 10.1007/s10517-012-1653-4.

Abstract

Contractile reactions of the guinea pig airway smooth muscles in the presence of stannum dioxide nanosized particles were studied. Contractile reactions to cholinergic and histaminergic stimulation were potentiated by inhalations of nanoparticle aerosol and by exposure of isolated smooth muscle segments to nanoparticle suspension.
