title: [Reactive oxygen species and antioxidative barrier in asthma].
abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) participate in chronic inflammation, e.g. asthma. Augmented ROS production and deteriorated antioxidative barrier on the other hand leads to oxidative stress and increased oxidative damage as a result. Therefore antioxidants may be used in therapy of asthma.
