Summary

The objective of this pilot study is to determine whether obesity and metabolic syndrome are in fact synergistic in relation to airway nitric oxide (NO) biology. To do so, the investigators want to determine how obesity and the metabolic syndrome relate to metabolism in bronchial airway epithelial cells and the nasal epithelium.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bronchoscopy and Nasal Epithelium Brush Sampling

After meeting screening criteria, participants will undergo further evaluation to determine whether or not inclusion and exclusion criteria are met. Participants will undergo a baseline evaluation, lung function testing and a subsequent bronchoscopy and nasal epithelial brush sampling in those that meet study enrollment.
