Abstract:
Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of asthma. To effectively control oxidative stress in asthmatics, it is important to investigate the precise intracellular mechanism by which the development of immunity, rather than immune tolerance and progression of airway inflammation, is induced. In this article, we suggest that protein tyrosine phosphatases, as intracellular negative regulators, and intracellular antioxidant enzymes such as peroxiredoxins can be regulated by oxidative stress during intracellular signaling.

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-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.
