Relationship between vasoactive intestinal peptide and its receptor with bronchial asthma / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness.In addition to adrenergic and cholinergic innervation,bronchial asthma is also regulated by non-adrenergic non-cholinergic nervous system.As a non-adrenergic non-cholinergic nerve medium,vasoactive intestinal peptide has many biological functions,such as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation.It plays an important role in airway hyperresponsiveness,airway inflammation and airway remodeling.
