Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal function in intrinsic non-atopic asthma

Abstract

Sixteen patients with intrinsic non-atopic asthma with persistent wheezing who had never been treated with corticosteroids showed normal adrenocortical responses to prolonged stimulation with Tetracosactin Depot. In a subgroup of six patients the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) response to a standard insulin stress test was normal. It is concluded that impaired responsiveness of the HPA axis is unlikely to be a common factor in initiating or maintaining airways obstruction in patients with intrinsic asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
