Oxidative stress contributes to airway inflammation and exhaled hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) are elevated in asthmatic patients. We determined the concentrations of expired H2O2 and NO in 116 asthmatic (72 stable steroid-naive, 30 stable steroid-treated, and 14 severe steroid-treated unstable patients) and in 35 healthy subjects, and studied the relation between exhaled H2O2, NO, FEV1, airway responsiveness, and eosinophils in induced sputum. Both exhaled H2O2 and NO levels were elevated in steroid-naive asthmatic patients compared with normal subjects (0.72 ± 0.06 versus 0.27 ± 0.04 µM and 29 ± 1.9 versus 6.5 ± 0.32 ppb, respectively; p < 0.001) and were reduced in stable steroid-treated patients (0.43 ± 0.08 µM, p < 0.05, and 9.9 ± 0.97 ppb, p < 0.001). In unstable steroid-treated asthmatics, however, H2O2 levels were increased, but exhaled NO levels were low (0.78 ± 0.16 µM and 6.7 ± 1.0 ppb, respectively). There was a correlation between expired H2O2, sputum eosinophils and airway hyperresponsiveness (methacholine PC20). Exhaled NO also correlated with sputum eosinophils, but not with airway hyperresponsiveness. Our findings indicate that measurement of expired H2O2 and NO in asthmatic patients provides complementary data for monitoring of disease activity.
