Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO)

    DLNO (in ml/min/mmHg) measured at 80% of the gas exchange threshold during cycling exercise.

    At second study visit

  • Diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO)

    DLNO (in ml/min/mmHg) measured at 80% of the gas exchange threshold during cycling exercise.

    At third study visit, approximately 1-2 weeks after second study visit

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO)

    At second study visit

  • Diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO)

    At third study visit, approximately 1-2 weeks after second study visit

  • Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO)

    At second study visit

  • Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO)

    At third study visit, approximately 1-2 weeks after second study visit

  • Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO)

    At second study visit

  • +9 more secondary outcomes
