Arginase: a Key Enzyme in Allergic Asthma.

Posted on August 16, 2010 by Dr. Gary Pack

Allergic asthma causes obstruction of bronchi and airway hyperresponiveness (AHR.) Eventually, there are inflammation and remodeling of the airways. The enzyme, arginase, may play a part in this. Reduced availability of arginine may be involved, resulting in problems with bronchoconstriction from reduced levels of nitric oxide (NO.) Arginine deficiency results in increased levels of peroxynitrite, […]

Asthma and Indoor Exposure to Allergens.

Posted on April 11, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Asthma has become the most common chronic disease of childhood. Some countries report higher incidence in the higher income groups. The U.S. reports a higher increase in incidence in lower socioeconomic income groups. Studies in the 1980’s reported a connection between asthma and sensitivity and increased exposure to dust mites with people spending more time […]
