ATS: Dietary Fat, Sex Hormones Affect Airway Inflammation | May, 2010

Health Day News recently released information regarding the relationship between estrogen and bronchodilaton. Studies suggest that a high fat intake can increase airway inflammation and suppress bronchodilator response in people with asthma; however scientists believe that a concentration of estrogens may actually help facilitate bronchodilation. It was concluded, that because concentrations of estrogen can activate estrogen receptors, estrogen therapy may actually hold therapeutic benefits for airway constriction related diseases.

In human ASM, clinically-relevant concentrations of estrogens act as a bronchodilator by decreasing airway resistance and therefore facilitating airflow. The activation of these estrogen receptors could potentially serve as a therapeutic mechanism in airway diseases such as asthma. While, these studies may be in their beginning stages, it reinforces the notion that hormones, particularly bioidentical hormones could offer many benefits.
