Intracellular action of magnesium in airways smooth muscle relaxation in rabbit
(1999)
This study was designed to examine whether magnesium has an intracellular action on airways smooth muscle contraction. Tracheal muscle strips were obtained from six male rabbits and perfused in a bathing chamber. The muscle ...
Cytokine levels in the sera of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2006)
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibroprotiferative disorder. Cytokines contribute an important but yet undefined role to its pathogenesis. Objectives: The present study aims to compare serum levels of ...
Increased oxidative stress in exudative pleural effusions - A new marker for the differentiation between exudates and transudates?
(2005)
Study objectives: Oxidative stress has been associated with various respiratory disorders. We tested the hypothesis that exudates would present higher levels of oxidative stress compared to transudates, expressing the ...
Magnesium as a relaxing factor of airway smooth muscles
(2001)
in the search for effective treatment of a life-threatening asthma attack, intravenous magnesium infusion has been studied in asthmatic patients because of its potential effect to reverse bronchospasm and improve pulmonary ...
Serum levels of oxidative stress as a marker of disease severity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2008)
Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal illness characterized by progressive fibrosis resulting in severe dyspnea and impairment Of lung function. Although the mechanisms by which lung fibrosis develops ...
Systemic oxidative stress in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis
(2009)
Background: A local redox imbalance has been reported in pulmonary sarcoidosis. However so far no, study has described a systemic redox imbalance in this context. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the systemic ...
