The effects of the isoflavone daidzein on the ciliary beat distance (CBD, which is a parameter assessing the amplitude of ciliary beating) and the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) were examined in ciliated human nasal epithelial cells (cHNECs) in primary culture. Daidzein decreased [Cl<sup>-</sup>]<sub>i</sub> and enhanced CBD in cHNECs. The CBD increase that was stimulated by daidzein was mimicked by Cl<sup>-</sup>-free NO₃<sup>-</sup> solution and bumetanide (an inhibitor of Na⁺/K⁺/2Cl<sup>-</sup> ...[more]
