Fig 1 (a) Effect of propofol on methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction. Data are mean and sem. M30′=30 min after start of methacholine infusion; 0=saline i.v. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs M30′. (b) Dose–response curve for relaxant effect of propofol. Relaxation is expressed as a percentage [peak constriction by methacholine=0%, full relaxation (baseline)=100%]. Solid circles, solid line=control group; open circles, broken line=vagotomy group.
