Fulltext PDFOxidant stress is well known in patients with bronchial asthma. The role of ROS and oxidant substances in the inflammatory and immunological cascades that are characteristic of asthma has much been studied. There are host of studies which point to the beneficial effects of vitamins A, C & E in the improvement of asthma outcome but the GINA 2022 guidelines have no mention of these. Probably this can be due to short term researches on the effect of antioxidant substances in asthma. Antioxidants vitamins A, C, and E and their beneficial effects in asthma management along with clinical trials have been discussed at length in this review. To know the effects of antioxidants on the inflammatory process in asthma long-term placebo-controlled studies of supplementation with vitamins A, C, and E are required.
The authors suggests that antioxidant agents like vitamins A, C, and E should be used as adjuncts to regular pharmacological treatment, in the future, viewing their efficacy in asthma management.Oxidant stress is well known in patients with bronchial asthma.
