Positive macro-rheologic impact of cysteamine, N-Acetylcysteine, rhDNase and alginate lyase on mucin. 20% (w/v) porcine stomach mucin was exposed to the 10 mg/ml of the cysteamine and the mucoactive agents listed above for 24 h at 37°C and the viscosity of the samples determined by measuring velocity (distance moved (mm) over time (s)). An equal volume of distilled water (4 μl) was used as a control. The experiment was carried out in triplicate and the bars represent the mean.
