  • Title: The effect of carbon dioxide on the activity of cilia. A study on rabbit sinus mucosa in vitro.
    Author: Reimer A.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol; 1987; 103(1-2):156-60. PubMed ID: 3105232.
    Abstract:
    The relation of ciliary activity to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide was studied with a photoelectric method on rabbit sinus mucosa in vitro. A dose-response relationship was found, where by ciliary activity was impaired at pCO2 above 5 kPa. The effect of elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide on ciliary activity in secretory otitis media and sinusitis is discussed.
