1 Inhaled budesonide increased TIMP-1 levels in both groups of asthmatic children and normalized the MMP-8/TIMP-1 ratio, and this paralleled the improvement in forced expiratory volume in 1 s in children with mild symptoms. Budesonide TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 Homo sapiens
2 Inhaled budesonide increased TIMP-1 levels in both groups of asthmatic children and normalized the MMP-8/TIMP-1 ratio, and this paralleled the improvement in forced expiratory volume in 1 s in children with mild symptoms. Budesonide TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 Homo sapiens
3 Budesonide decreased the percentage of MMP-8-positive macrophages and increased that of TIMP-1-positive macrophages; these changes were significant in asthmatic children with mild symptoms. Budesonide TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSIONS: Inhaled budesonide normalized the MMP-8/TIMP-1 ratio in asthmatic children by upregulation of TIMP-1 production and downregulation of MMP-8 production by airway macrophages. Budesonide TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: Inhaled budesonide normalized the MMP-8/TIMP-1 ratio in asthmatic children by upregulation of TIMP-1 production and downregulation of MMP-8 production by airway macrophages. Budesonide TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 Homo sapiens
