Suppressive Effect of Insulin on the Gene Expression and Plasma Concentrations of Mediators of Asthmatic Inflammation by Husam Ghanim, Kelly Green, Sanaa Abuaysheh, Manav Batra, Nitesh D. Kuhadiya, Reema Patel, Antoine Makdissi, Sandeep Dhindsa, Ajay Chaudhuri, Paresh Dandona

“…Following our recent demonstration that the chronic inflammatory and insulin resistant state of obesity is associated with an increase in the expression of mediators known to contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma and that weight loss after gastric bypass surgery results in the reduction of these genes, we have now hypothesized that insulin suppresses the cellular expression and plasma concentrations of these mediators. …”
