Anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects of Gastrodia elata Blume extract in ovalbumin-induced asthma rat model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease in which bronchial inflammation causes narrowing of the bronchi when exposed to allergens, resulting in coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Gastrodia elata Blume (GEB) is a perennial Orchidaceae plant native to alpine areas and is known to be effective in anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsants. This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects of GEB extract in a rat model of allergic asthma induced by ovalbumin. This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects of GEB extract in a rat model of allergic asthma induced by ovalbumin. Twenty-four 6-week-old Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control group (CON), ovalbumin (OVA) -induced group, and GEB treatment group. E
