...Norris Melville; S. Ismail; C. Sealy The effect of mucolytic and expectorant substances on ciliary beat frequency, mucus transport velocity and mucus production, was investigated in normal and bronchitic rats. The results showed that: (i) N-acetylcysteine and S-carboxymethylcysteine were midly...

... not yield conclusive results, probably because the byproducts from photolysis negatively affected ciliary function. The transport velocity at the surface of bronchial and nasal spheroids was estimated to be 2.96 and 3.62 mm/min (medians), respectively, which is in the same range as mucus transport velocity...
