Conclusion of this study

These results suggest that ICS improved lung function in COPD patients with moderate airflow obstruction, beside a minor improvement in the oxidant-antioxidant imbalance leading to a lesser expression of ICAM-1. Treatment with NAC decreased some inflammatory parameters and had indirectly an inhibitory effect on the expression of adhesion molecules.
