Abstract

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways: its precise etiology is still unknown. New evidence points to oxydative stress, in which the participation and increment of reactive species of oxygen by several biochemical systems overwhelms the anti oxidant mechanisms of the airways; this, in conjunction with changes induced by free radicals involving systemic and local respiratory structural damage and metabolic changes.
