Specific airway compliance(C_s) at pre- and post-treatment times in treated and untreated airways in relaxed (atropine) and contracted (methacholine chloride (Mch)) states

	C_s atropine		p-value	C_s Mch		p-value
	Treated	Untreated	p-value	Treated	Untreated	p-value
Pre-treatment	0.0299	0.0329	0.17	0.0020	0.0028	0.65
Post-treatment
3 weeks	0.0294	0.0292	0.96	0.0064	0.0027	0.14
5 weeks	0.0345	0.0376	0.31	0.0099	0.0080	0.43

C_s is defined as the fractional change in airway area (normalised to maximal area at 30 cmH₂0) with lung inflation from 0 to 10 cmH₂O.
