Abstract:
Objective 5BTo study the effects of desloratadine on the level of IL-4 and IL-13 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of allergic asthmatic rat model.Methods The allergic asthmatic rat model was induced by ovalbumin.Then the effects of desloratadine on the latent period of asth-ma,the level of IL-4 and IL-13 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were observed.Results Deslorata-dine could extend the latent period of asthma,and decrease the level of IL-4 and IL-13 in bron-choalveolar lavage fluid.Conclusion Desloratadine could delay the onset of asthma by decreasing the level of IL-4 and IL-13.So it provides basis for the clinical use in treating asthma.
