Abstract

Public Health Relevance

Findings from the proposed studies will lend insight into impact of dietary factors on inner-city asthma. Specifically, the project will determine if dietary interventions can improve oxidative stress status, inflammation, and allergic asthma. The findings may support the use of dietary supplement or overhaul of diet in the treatment of allergic asthma.
