Changes in Exhaled Nitric Oxide Measured by Two Offline Methods Predict Improvements in Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness after Inhaled Steroid Therapy in Japanese Adults with Asthma

Background: The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a useful marker of eosinophilic airway inflammation in asthmatics. No studies have examined the relationship between the change in FeNO levels measured offline and changes in bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in asthmatic patients treated...
