Abstract

Asthma essentially represents a chronic inflammatory disease that manifests as a lifelong condition with different severity throughout the life of patients with asthma. Pomegranate holds three times the antioxidant activity compared to other polyphenol-rich food sources like green tea, which may positively impact asthma. This research aimed to investigate the pomegranate supplementation influences clinical symptoms, eosinophil, basophil, and neutrophil counts in patients with allergic asthma. Participants ( = 64) suffering from mild to moderate allergic asthma were randomly divided into two groups: The control group received placebo capsules and the intervention group received 250 mg pomegranate extract capsules twice a day (for 8 weeks). To analyze the data, we used SPSS software (version 22). The significance level of -value was considered less than 0.05. The findings showed that the pomegranate extract improved patients' clinical symptoms like daily breath shortness, nocturnal breath shortness, and limitation of asthma-related activity in the intervention group compared to the control group. Furthermore, eosinophil, basophil, and neutrophil counts were significantly decreased in the intervention group. Also, by comparing the two groups, the levels of change in neutrophils and eosinophils were statistically significant. It appears that the pomegranate extract can ameliorate some clinical symptoms and reduce neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils in allergic asthma patients. https://www.irct.ir/trial/45612; identifier: IRCT20200205046384N1.

摘要

哮喘本质上是一种慢性炎症性疾病,表现为哮喘患者一生都患有不同严重程度的疾病。与绿茶等其他富含多酚的食物来源相比,石榴的抗氧化活性是其三倍,这可能对哮喘产生积极影响。本研究旨在调查补充石榴对过敏性哮喘患者临床症状、嗜酸性粒细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞和中性粒细胞计数的影响。64名患有轻度至中度过敏性哮喘的参与者被随机分为两组:对照组接受安慰剂胶囊,干预组每天两次服用250毫克石榴提取物胶囊(共8周)。为了分析数据,我们使用了SPSS软件(版本22)。P值的显著性水平被认为小于0.05。研究结果表明,与对照组相比,干预组中石榴提取物改善了患者的临床症状,如每日气短、夜间气短以及哮喘相关活动受限。此外,干预组的嗜酸性粒细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞和中性粒细胞计数显著降低。而且,通过比较两组,中性粒细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞的变化水平具有统计学意义。看来石榴提取物可以改善过敏性哮喘患者的一些临床症状,并减少中性粒细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞和嗜酸性粒细胞。https://www.irct.ir/trial/45612;标识符:IRCT20200205046384N1。
