Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (A1AT) is a major inhibitor of serine proteases and plays an important role in the lung as an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase. A1AT deficiency is associated with decreases in plasma A1AT levels and is associated with an increased risk for developing asthma, emphysema/COPD, and
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). Recent studies have linked vitamin D with the prevention and/or treatment of a wide range of diseases, including chronic lung diseases. Patients with chronic lung diseases appear to be at increased risk for vitamin D
Corticosteroids exert their effects by binding to a cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The inactive GR is bound to a protein complex that includes heat shock protein hsp90, acting as molecular chaperones to prevent the nuclear localisation of unoccupied GR.
GR binding to the palindromic
