Nitric oxide: a promising methodological approach in airway diseases.

abstract：:Eosinophils used to be thought of as regulators of allergic inflammation, but there is now evidence to the contrary; eosinophils have been found to be the major effector cells responsible for the late asthmatic response (LAR), airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and, at least in part, airway remodeling by releasing leuko...

abstract：:Eosinophils may play an important role in the pathogenesis of airway remodeling in asthma through the production of various fibrogenic cytokines such as transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1). Cysteinyl leukotrienes are also suggested to be involved in remodeling with their potential to induce proliferation of a...
