|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tiotropium | Drug | 18mcg/ capsule inhaled once daily for two weeks. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The effect of an anticholinergic agent or beta 2 agonist on the fraction of expired NO (FeNO) | This will be a crossover trial. Baseline measurements will be taken, followed by two weeks of drug intervention (Salmeterol or Tiotropium Bromide). After two weeks the subject will return for post drug measurements. There will be a wash out period of four weeks, and then the subject will return again for the baseline measurements of drug 2, followed by two weeks of intervention and a final assessment. | Approximately 8 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Selected Biomarkers of inflammation(TNF-alpha,Isoprostane 8, Leukotriene B4) in exhaled breath condensates (EBC)after intervention | The subject will be randomized to receive either anticholinergic agent or long acting Beta2 agonist. Measurements of EBC will take place at baseline, 1 hr post drug administration, and two weeks after intervention. Biomarkers of inflammation will be assessed by collected exhaled breath condensates, which will subsequently be sent for biochemical analysis. Markers include Isoprostane-8, TNF-Alpha, and Leukotriene B4. |

| Pulmonary function, as measured by pulmonary function tests and body plethysmography | This will be a crossover trial. Baseline measurements will be taken, followed by two weeks of drug intervention (Salmeterol or Tiotropium Bromide). After two weeks the subject will return for post drug measurements. There will be a wash out period of four weeks, and then the subject will return again for the baseline measurements of drug 2, followed by two weeks of intervention and a final assessment. Pulmonary assessments include: Spirometry and Plethysmography. | Approx. 8 weeks |
