Gohil and Mehta: Effect of PHE against Trypsin and Egg-albumin Induced Experimental Model of Asthma in Mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of PHE in experimental induced bronchial asthma in mice. Trypsin and egg-albumin induced chronic model of asthma was used and various parameters were measured on 35 day. The asthmatic control group showed lower level of pO2, tidal volume, airflow rate and higher respiratory rate, serum bicarbonate level, eosinophil count in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid compared to normal control group. Dexamethasone and PHE treated groups showed higher pO2 level, tidal volume, airflow rate whereas lower respiratory rate, serum bicarbonate level, eosinophil count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid compared to asthmatic control group. Histopathological examination of lungs showed more prominent alveolar and muscular layer destruction in asthmatic control group than dexamethasone and PHE treated groups. PHE has beneficial effect in asthma and might be used for the treatment of bronchial asthma.

متن کاملRole of Estrogen Receptor-Alpha in an Experimental Model of Bronchial Asthma
Background: Use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may increase the risk of adult-onset asthma in women. Various in vitro studies have reported that estradiol stimulates human mast cell lines causing release of allergic mediators which was not observed in estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) knockout mice. Thus, estrogen might be a key element in occurrence of asthma. In the present study, we p...
متن کاملEvaluation of Bronchodilator and Anti-Anaphylactic Activity of Myrica sapida
Background: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. The available treatment options have major limitations owing to low efficacy, associated adverse events and compliance issues. Therefore, the health burden of bronchial asthma is increasing globally at an alarming rate, providing a strong impetus for the development of new therapeutics. Myrica sapida is known traditionally in...
متن کاملThe effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma and cytokine responses in mice
Objective(s): Allergic Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs that is characterized by increased infiltration of leukocytes into the airways, limiting the respiratory function. Studies suggest that a defective general regulatory system against inflammation could be a significant factor in allergic asthma. It has been shown that Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a cellular immunosuppres...
