Summary

To determine the systemic inflammatory effects of inhaled endotoxin and associated alterations in cardiovascular function. Subjects will undergo an exposure to inhaled endotoxin in a crossover fashion with normal saline inhalation. Blood samples and sputum samples will be taken before and after inhalation challenge to measure markers of systemic inflammation. Cardiovascular measures, including a heart rate variability monitor, flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery and left ventricular stain will also be measured.
