Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to understand the role of substance P (SP) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma compared to healthy individuals.
- - Researchers compared SP levels in plasma and sputum samples from COPD patients, asthmatic patients, and healthy subjects, finding significantly higher SP levels in both COPD and asthma patients than in healthy individuals.
- - The findings suggest that substance P may play a role in airway inflammation for both COPD and asthma, although SP levels were similar in COPD and asthma patients.
