Effect of vitamin C on tracheal responsiveness and pulmonary inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease model of guinea pig

Introduction: In the present study, the prophylactic effect of vitamin C, as a potent anti-oxidant, on tracheal responsiveness to methacholine and ovalbumin, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid white blood cell (WBC) count and differential count, and also lung pathology in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) -guinea pigs (cigarette exposed guinea pigs) were examined. In addition, the relax...

In vitro Lymphoproliferative Responses of Trichostrongylus colubriformis High and Low Responder Guinea Pigs to Worm Antigens (SPL3, SPA) and Ovalbumin

In vitro lymphocyte responses of high responder (HR) and low responder (LR) guinea pigs from pe-ripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to parasite antigens soluble protein third stage larvae (SPL3) and soluble protein adult stage ( SPA), non-parasite antigen ovalbumin (OVA) were examined. There was substantial differences between HR and LR guinea pigs in the rate of acquisition of responsiveness to t...

Suppression of severe airway inflammation with non-toxic dietary nutrients in histamine-challenged guinea pigs: A comparison with Ibuprofen

We hypothesize that selected combinations of nutrients commonly encountered in the human diet, suppress asthma-associated airway inflammation more effectively than currently available anti-inflammatory medications. Here we demonstrate that biflavones and terpenes, distributed widely in human diet (in this case derived from Ginkgo biloba) synergize with the carotenoid antioxidant astaxanthin and...
