NCT00159289

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effects of inhaled lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (LPS) on bronchial and alveolar exhaled nitric oxide (NO) and NO metabolites and other inflammatory markers and mediators in exhaled breath condensate, induced sputum, nasal lavage and mouthwash fluid in healthy non-smokers and current smokers, including patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
