Abstract

Over the past several years attempts have been made to elucidate many of the various biochemical events that take place during agonist-induced contraction and relaxation of airways smooth muscle. Such studies have clearly indicated that many processes are involved in the control of airways smooth muscle tone. In addition, there would appear to be considerable interplay between these biochemical events demonstrating the complexity of the contractile process.
