Lysophosphatidylglycerol in Asthma Pathogenesis

This study investigates the role of a molecule called lysophosphatidylglycerol (LPG) in asthma — a chronic lung condition causing wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. Researchers believe this naturally occurring lipid (fat molecule) may play a role in the inflammation underlying asthma and hope to better understand how it contributes to the disease. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been clinically diagnosed with asthma **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You also have COPD, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, obstructive sleep apnea, or a malignant tumor - You have acute or chronic respiratory failure - You have severe heart disease - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
