Anti-inflammatory and anti-remodeling effects of myrtenol in the lungs of asthmatic rats: Histopathological and biochemical findings

Abstract

Our results suggest that myrtenol reduced damage caused by experimental asthma by reducing the inflammatory indices, normalizing the level of interleukins and balancing oxidative stress in the lungs. It also prevented airway remodeling. Myrtenol may be suggested as a potent herbal medicine for the treatment of allergic asthma.
