Objective:
To observe antiasthmatic and anti-inflammatory actions mechanisms of CDCA.
Method:
The content of NO was determined by method of nitroreductase chromatometry in serum and trachea tissue. The content of cAMP was analysed by method of competitive protein-binding assay. The content of PGE2 was determined by method of ultraviolet spectrophotometry.
Result:
CDCA significantly decreased the content of NO of serum and trachea tissue in mice. CDCA increased greatly the content of cAMP of trachea tissue in rats. CDCA significantly decreased the content of PGE2 of trachea and lung tissue in mice.
Conclusion:
Mechanisms of antiasthmatic and anti-inflammatory actions of CDCA are related to increasing the content of cAMP in trachea tissue and decreasing the constituent of NO and PGE2 in body.

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
Asthma I: Introduction
Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...
