TL;DR: It is suggested that obesity-associated asthma is facilitated by inflammation mediated by NLRP3, IL-1β and ILC3 cells, which is found in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of individuals with asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary nitrate supplementation in COPD: An acute, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial☆
Conor P Kerley,Conor P Kerley,Kathleen Cahill,Kenneth Bolger,Aisling McGowan,Conor Burke,John Faul,Liam Cormican +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with stable COPD, the acute consumption of dietary nitrate increased serum nitrate/nitrite levels and exercise capacity and was associated with a decrease in resting blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Vitamin D Is Significantly Inversely Associated with Disease Severity in Caucasian Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.
Conor P Kerley,Conor P Kerley,Katrina Hutchinson,Kenneth Bolger,Aisling McGowan,John Faul,Liam Cormican +6 more
TL;DR: There is evidence that 25(OH)D and OSAS are related, but the role, if any, of replenishment has not been investigated, and widespread vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in a Caucasian, OSAS population is observed.
Journal Article
Supplemental dietary nitrate for COPD: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial
TL;DR: Acute consumption of dietary nitrate can improve exercise tolerance and lower blood pressure in COPD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supplemental dietary nitrate for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial
Conor P Kerley,Kathleen Cahill,Kenneth Bolger,K. Fennell,A. O'Brien,Aisling McGowan,Conor Burke,John Faul,L Cormican +8 more
TL;DR: There were no significant differences in heart rate, arterial oxygen concentrations, or breathlessness at any time point, however, COPD subjects who took dietary nitrate walked significantly further than when they took placebo and had a reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
