Resumen
OLIVARES-CORICHI, Ivonne María et al. Perspectives in the use of antioxidants for the treatment of asthma. Rev. Inst. Nal. Enf. Resp. Mex. [online]. 2005, vol.18, n.2, pp.154-161. ISSN 0187-7585.
Oxidative stress seen in bronchial asthma can damage different kinds of biomolecules; this oxidant/antioxidant imbalance results from an increment in the production of oxygen reactive species. The utilization of exogenous antioxidant agents or promoters of endogenous antioxidants can be seen as an alternative therapy for asthma that is worth discussing.
