Oxidant stress in allergic asthma measured w/ urinary F2-isoprostane

I know this article appears to be a highly technical one (and it is…), but the take home message is that any asthmatic (in particular those with associated allergies) should be on a strong antioxidant regimen. Oxidative stress in asthmatics can be a major contributing factor for symptoms, and too many times patients are not given the advice to work on the inside out. Most patients get the “get rid of the pets, wash the linens, use an air cleaner” recommendations, but few really get comprehensive recommendations that will approach the problem from all angles.
