Abstract
In previous studies we developed and introduced a method to examine the transport mechanisms of ions in primary cell cultures of human nasal epithelium. In the current study, substances, especially nicotine, that influence these mechanisms are investigated. Specimens of nasal and paranasal epithelium of patients treated by endonasal surgery because of chronic sinusitis (Keywords
