JOHANSON, Jr. DATE: 1981 TITLE: BRONCHIAL REACTIVITY TO INHALED METHACHOLINE IN CIGARETTE- SMOKING BABOONS CITATION: J. Appl. Physiol.: Respirat. Environ. Exercise Physiol. 50(4):-754-760, 1981 STUDY DESIGN: 31 young-adult male feral baboons (age approx 6-8 years) were randomly . assigned to cigarette-smoking or sham-smoking groups. The animals were taught to puff on lit cigarettes (smokers) or on a similar resistance (shams). Details of training methods, cigarette composition and experimental design were presented in this paper. After 6 pack-years of smoking (40 cigarettes/day for 3 years), airway reactivity was studied. The animals were anesthetized and intubated for measurement of lung volumes, compliance, and expiratory flow with air and 80% helium-20% oxygen using both partial expiratory flow-volume and maximal expiratory flow-volume maneuvers. RNDING/RESULTS: Baseline lung function was similar in smokers and shams. Following methacholine, residual volume increased significantly in shams but not in smokers. Smokers showed significantly greater postchallange flow rates than did shams, and the dose of methacholine required to produce a 20% decrement in flow was significantly greater in smokers. CONCLUSIONS: Chronic cigarette smoking in a nonhuman primate model decreases air reactivity to inhaled methacholine even when base-line lung function is normal.
