Asthma is an allergic disease, characterized as a recurrent airflow limitation, airway
hyperreactivity, and chronic inflammation, involving a variety of cells and cytokines. Reactive …

Prevalence of asthma has increased considerably in recent decades throughout the world
especially in developed countries. Airway inflammation is thought to be prime cause for …

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that results in airflow limitation,
hyperreactivity, and airway remodeling. There is strong evidence that an imbalance between …

Our current understanding of the role of oxidative stress in asthma suggests that antioxidant
therapy may be important in optimizing asthma treatment and prevention. The future success …

Asthma is considered a chronic inflammatory disorder associated with airway
hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Increased oxidative stress (OS) is a clinical feature of asthma …

An imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the capacity of
antioxidant defense mechanisms favoring oxidants is called oxidative stress and is …

Abstract Asthma affects 5% to 10% of the population of the United States. In asthmatics,
oxidative stress occurs not only as a result of inflammation but also from environmental …

Asthma is characterized by repeated episodes of airway obstruction and an ongoing cycle of
airway inflammation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by inflammatory cells in the …

Background: Inflammatory lung diseases such as asthma are characterized by chronic
inflammation, oxidative stress, and altered antioxidant defenses. Increased levels of reactive …

Asthma is a disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. Generation of oxygen
free radicals by activated inflammatory cells produces many of the pathophysiologic …
