F-ENO values are influenced by the expiratory flow rate and orally produced NO. We measured F-ENO at four different expiratory flow levels after two different mouthwashes: tap water and carbonated water. Further, we compared the alveolar NO concentration (C-ANO), maximum airway NO flux (J(awNO)) and airway NO diffusion (D-awNO) after these two mouthwashes. F-ENO was measured in 30 volunteers (heal...
