Decrease of ciliary beat frequency by platelet activating factor: Protective effect of ketotifen

Abstract: The ciliary beat frequency (CBF) of the tracheal epithelial cells controls in part the respiratory tract mucociliary transport efficiency. We investigated the effects on CBF of PAF-acether (PAF) and its metabolite/precursor lyso-PAF. Guinea-pig tracheal rings were incubated for 3 to 6h with 1 microM PAF (C16, C18, C16/C18: 80/20%), lyso-PAF C16 or lyso-phosphatidylcholine (LPC). CBF changes were assessed by microphotooscillography (mean number of measures per ring = 14). We also examined the effect on PAF-indu… Show more
