In methodology, mice were allocated into two healthy and asthma groups, followed by the assessment of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), cell enumeration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), measurement of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-33, IL-5, interferon gamma (IFN-γ), and IL-13, total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, and analysis of remodeling factors.

The result revealed that asthma induction augmented AHR and elevated eosinophil percentage, elevated the levels of IL-13, IL-33, IL-5, IL-4, IgE, Helicobacter pylori (HP), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), and the gene expression of SMAD3. Also, eosinophilic inflammation, goblet cell meta/hyperplasia, and mucus secretion were increased in asthmatic versus healthy mice. The level of IFN-γ was lower in the asthma compared to the control group; however, the expressions of troponin, SMAD2, and MEF-2 genes showed no significant differences.
