Article Synopsis
- Asthma is a common chronic airway condition in children, and poor control of the disease has been linked to low levels of antioxidants.
- A study was conducted with 60 asthmatic children and 60 healthy controls to investigate the relationship between asthma severity and serum levels of NRF2, an important antioxidant.
- Results showed that asthmatic children had lower levels of NRF2 and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) compared to controls, with lower levels in severe asthma cases, suggesting that low NRF2 could be a predictor of asthma severity in children.
