Thème :
animal model of asthma (in Wistar rat)
Présentation :
In order to understand asthmatic disease while looking for an effective phytotherapy, we used an animal model of asthma (in Wistar rat) based on the animal's exposure to Ovalbumin associated with an adjuvant. This model presents bronchial hyperreactivity and inflammatory lung lesions forming an asthmatic syndrome approaching human disease. This model was used to highlight the markers of inflammation (parameters of oxidative stress, proteins, cytokines, cell count and pulmonary histological study
