Several lines of evidence support the hypothesis that adenosine contributes to asthma. Inhaled adenosine provokes bronchoconstriction in asthmatics, but not in nonasthmatics. This process appears to be mediated by mast cell activation, because it can be blocked by antihistamines and inhibitors of ma
Calcium-activated neutral proteinase (calpain) has been extensively studied over the past three decades such that many enzymatic and structural properties of this enzyme are well understood. However, the pathophysiological roles of calpain remain poorly defined. In addition to recent studies delinea
Asthma in adults is generally recognized as a chronic inflammatory airway disease, although this association is less well established in childhood asthma. Thus, recent asthma guidelines have emphasized that asthma treatment should be directed toward the underlying inflammatory aspects of the disease
