*Results of this study show that nicotine reduces the alveolar inflammatory response to S. rectivirgula antigen and affects some AM (stimulated with LPS or S. rectivirgula) functions in vitro. This influence could be, at least in part, responsible for the protection that smokers have against development of HP. Because nicotine is effective in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, it could also be of interest in the treatment of HP and other pulmonary inflammatory diseases. | *Results of this study show that nicotine reduces the alveolar inflammatory response to S. rectivirgula antigen and affects some AM (stimulated with LPS or S. rectivirgula) functions in vitro.
