Increased hydrogen peroxide and thiobarbituric acid-reactive products in expired breath condensate of asthmatic patients

Abstract

Symptoms of bronchial asthma are a manifestation of airway inflammation. Circulatory leucocytes (predominantly eosinophils, mast cells and neutrophils), release inflammatory mediators, including reactive oxygen species, i.e. superoxide anion which is dismutated to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Neutrophils from asthmatics generate greater amounts of these species than those of healthy subjects. Some of the H2O2 and thiobarbituric acid-reactive products (TBARs) can evaporate from alveolar lining fluid, and could be expired from the airways of asthmatics. In this study, therefore, we determined whether asthmatic patients exhale more H2O2 and TBARs than healthy subjects. We examined 10 healthy subjects as a control group and 21 asthmatic subjects. In asthmatic subjects, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), was 68+/-9% of predicted value, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was 65+/-8% pred, and bronchial reversibility was 34+/-5% of prebronchodilated FEV1. The mean H2O2 level measured spectrofluorimetrically in the expired breath condensate of asthmatic subjects was 26 fold higher than that in healthy controls (0.26+/-0.29 vs 0.01+/-0.03 nM; p<0.05). The concentration of TBARs in breath condensate was also higher in asthmatic pa...Continue Reading

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.
