Abstract
Introduction: Asthma and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are chronic diseases with a significant global health burden. Recent studies have highlighted the complex relationship between these two diseases, particularly regarding their pharmacological management.
Areas covered: This review discusses the mechanisms linking asthma and T2DM and the interactions between asthma and T2DM therapies, highlighting the potential clinical implications. We examine the effects of asthma medications on glycemic control and diabetes management and review the effects of commonly used T2DM medications on outcomes in patients with asthma.
Expert opinion: The effective management of asthma and T2DM requires a comprehensive appreciation of the beneficial and adverse pharmacological effects of drugs used in the treatment of asthma on glucose metabolism. It is also essential to consider the potential benefits of diabetes treatments on respiratory health and the impact of obesity on both diseases. Such knowledge can facilitate the optimization of drug plans and the minimization of adverse effects, while exploiting potential synergies between treatments for these diseases. However, to improve understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying the interaction between these chronic diseases, further research using a comprehensive approach that includes inflammatory pathways, metabolic factors, therapeutic interventions, gender differences, and lifestyle influences is needed.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Clinical Immunology (ISSN 1744-666X) provides expert analysis and commentary regarding the performance of new therapeutic and diagnostic modalities in clinical immunology. Members of the International Editorial Advisory Panel of Expert Review of Clinical Immunology are the forefront of their area of expertise. This panel works with our dedicated editorial team to identify the most important and topical review themes and the corresponding expert(s) most appropriate to provide commentary and analysis. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review, and the finished reviews provide an essential contribution to decision-making in clinical immunology.
Articles focus on the following key areas:
• Therapeutic overviews of specific immunologic disorders highlighting optimal therapy and prospects for new medicines
• Performance and benefits of newly approved therapeutic agents
• New diagnostic approaches
• Screening and patient stratification
• Pharmacoeconomic studies
• New therapeutic indications for existing therapies
• Adverse effects, occurrence and reduction
• Prospects for medicines in late-stage trials approaching regulatory approval
• Novel treatment strategies
• Epidemiological studies
• Commentary and comparison of treatment guidelines
Topics include infection and immunity, inflammation, host defense mechanisms, congenital and acquired immunodeficiencies, anaphylaxis and allergy, systemic immune diseases, organ-specific inflammatory diseases, transplantation immunology, endocrinology and diabetes, cancer immunology, neuroimmunology and hematological diseases.
