  • Title: Changes in serum eosinophil cationic protein levels after exercise challenge in asthmatic children.
    Author: Hsieh CC, Goto H, Kobayashi H, Chow WC, Peng WH, Tang RB.
    Journal: J Asthma; 2007 Sep; 44(7):569-73. PubMed ID: 17885861.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between serum eosinophil cationic protein levels and the severity of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic children. The 48 asthmatic children were divided into exercise-induced bronchoconstriction group and non-exercise-induced bronchoconstriction group. In the exercise-induced bronchoconstriction group, the post-exercise serum eosinophil cationic protein levels were significantly increased as compared with the pre-exercise serum eosinophil cationic protein levels. These results suggested that eosinophil cationic protein may serve as a possible contributor to the pathophysiology of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic children.
