Predictive role of IL-17A/IL-10 ratio in persistent asthmatic patients on vitamin D supplement
2019
Abstract Asthma is an airway inflammatory disorder. Vitamin (Vit) D is a potent immuno-modulator. It suppresses Interleukin (IL)-17 and induces IL-10. This study aims to investigate the role of IL-17A and IL-10 in predicting asthma control in case of Vit D supplementation. Seventy-nine patients enrolled in this study (42 patients received Vit D supplement and 37 patients did not receive the supplement). The enrolled patients were assessed at the beginning of this study and after 3 months. At the end of the study, there was a significant improvement in pulmonary function parameters in the Vit D supplemented group when compared to both the baseline values and the non-supplemented group. There was a significant decrease in serum IL-17A levels and a significant increase in serum IL-10 levels in comparison with the baseline values (p
