Yl. Lai et al., FULLERENE DERIVATIVES ATTENUATE BRONCHOCONSTRICTION INDUCED BY XANTHINE-XANTHINE OXIDASE, Fullerene science and technology, 5(7), 1997, pp. 1337-1345
The intratracheal instillation of xanthine-xanthine oxidase caused a m
arked decrease in dynamic respiratory compliance, indicating airway co
nstriction. The constriction was significantly attenuated by fullereno
l-1, but not by other agents or receptor antagonists.
