Abstract

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a consequence of evaporative water loss in conditioning the inspired air. The water loss causes cooling and dehydration of the airway surface. One acute effect of dehydration is the release of mediators, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and histamine, that can stimulate smooth muscle, causing contraction and a change in vascular permeability. Inspiring cold air increases dehydration of the surface area and causes changes in bronchial blood flow. This article proposes that the pathogenesis of EIB in elite athletes relates to the epithelial injury arising from breathing poorly conditioned air at high flows for long periods of time or high volumes of irritant particles or gases. The evidence to support this proposal comes from many markers of injury. The restorative process after injury involves plasma exudation and movement of cells into the airways, a process repeated many times during a season of training. This process has the potential to expose smooth muscle to a wide variety of plasma- and cell-derived substances. The exposure to these substances over time can lead to an alteration in the contractile properties of the smooth muscle, making it more sensitive to mediators of bronchoconstriction. It is proposed that cold-weather athletes have airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to pharmacologic agents as a result of epithelial injury. In those who are allergic, AHR can also be expressed as EIB. The role of beta(2)-receptor agonists in inhibiting and enhancing the development of AHR and EIB is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
