| Popis: | Aim - to investigate the influence of IL-17, IL-10 on the level of asthma control among obese patients. Materials and methods. 79 patients with asthma aged from 18 to 65 years were enrolled in our study and categorized into three groups according to their body mass index (BMI): group 1 - normal BMI (27 (34,2%) patients, age 50±13,8), group 2 - overweight (28 (35,4%) patients, age 44±16,5) and group 3 - obese (24 patients (30,4%), age 57,3±8,2). These patients underwent spirometry and were compared for clinical characteristics, plasma level of IL-17 and IL-10 using ELISA assay. Results. IL-17 concentrations were higher in the obese and uncontrolled asthmatics. Statistically significant correlation between the level of IL-10 and BMI was not found. Conclusions. Our study shows that cytokines IL-17 play an important role in the immune response of asthma in obese patients, and represent an important therapeutic target for the asthma treatment. |
