Central ASM and ECM remodelling. ASM area, myocyte size, ECM fraction of the ASM, and thickness of the ECM in the lamina propria were assessed in study I (a–d) and II (e–h). Each symbol represents one horse (mean value of multiple measures performed). Dashed line in panels d and h corresponds to the mean thickness of ECM reported in healthy horses in a previous study19. *Different from baseline of the same group (p < 0.05); ♮p = 0.05 from baseline of the same group. ASM: airway smooth muscle; ECM: extracellular matrix.
