Analysis of Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Pathways in Lung Diseases by Haem Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in Induced Sputum and Carbon Monoxide (CO) in Exhaled Air

June 8, 2010 updated by: Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center
This work will focus on the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways in lung diseases by measuring HO-1 in induced sputum and CO in exhaled air in cases of four respiratory diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), occupational lung diseases (OLD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD).
