Aggregate nasal saccharin transit time after VCPT. (a) Normal subjects demonstrated a 35% decrease in NSTT following VCPT as compared to pretreatment NSTT ( minutes versus  min; ). (b) In CF subjects, we observed a similar 38% decrease in NSTT after VCPT when compared to pretreatment values (baseline =  min versus after vest =  min; ).
