Repeated ovalbumin (OA) or saline exposure of sensitized Brown Norway rats was examined on agonist reactivity, airway smooth muscle (ASM) content, and contractile protein expression in small bronchioles at 24 h, 7 days, and 35 days after challenge. OA increased ASM content (P < 0.05 vs. saline) at 24 h, which resolved by 7 days. Maximum developed tension (T-max) to carbachol, KCl, and 4-beta-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate was increased (P < 0.05) by OA in bronchioles at 24 h but was abrogated after correction for ASM. Differences in Tmax were not present at 7 days. In contrast, at 35 days, T-max was increased (P
