“…Inhibitors of TRPA1, TRPV1 and TRPV4 have been developed to prevent activation of chemosensory TRP channels that are believed to be involved in pulmonary edema (Nilius, Owsianik et al 2007, Billeter, Hellmann et al 2014, Grace, Baxter et al 2014, Jurek, Hirano-Kobayashi et al 2014) and abnormal blood pressure as well as abnormal fluid and electrolyte balance resulting from COPD (Li, Kanju et al 2011), heart failure (Thorneloe, Cheung et al 2012), chronic asthma (Lee and Gu 2009), exposure to isocyanates and tear gases (Bessac, Sivula et al 2009), and exposure to chlorine gas (Balakrishna, Song et al 2014). Typically acute reactions to CG from its exposure at levels higher than the odor threshold and standard permissible levels include irritation, bronchoconstriction, and vasoconstriction, disruption of the alveolar membrane barrier function, pulmonary edema, asthma-like symptoms and respiratory distress.…”
