This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of Gamcho(Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, GLU) on Antiallergy in asthma. We measured IL-4, IL-5, UL-13, IgE in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of ovalbumin induced asthmatic mouse and observed murine lung tissue. The results were obtained as follows: 1. GLU decreased the proliferation of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IgE significantly. According to the above results, it is suggested that GLU extract might be useful applied for prevention and treatment of allergic asthma.

This experiment was designed to investigate the effect of Gamcho(Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, GLU) in asthma. We measured histamine, IL-1β, IL-4, 1L-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, in plasma of ovalbumin induced asthmatic mouse. The results were obtained as follows: GLU decreased the proliferation of histamine, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13 significantly. GLU increased the proliferation of IL-10 significantly. According to the above results, it is suggested that GLU extract might be useful applied for prevention and treatment of allergic asthma.
