[Changes in mRNA and protein expression of antioxidant enzymes in children with bronchial asthma after interval
Abstract:
The effect of 10 days of interval hypoxic training (IHT) on the mRNA expression and protein content of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione-S-transferase) in leukocytes of children with bronchial asthma (BA) was investigated. It was shown that after sessions of IHT the mRNA expression of superoxide dismutase decreased by 32.5% (P < 0,05), but the level of protein was unchanged. The level of catalase gene mRNA and protein content in leukocytes after IHT increased by 67% and 13% accordingly. We detected a 90% increase in glutathione S-transferase level following IHT.

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.
