Is bronchial asthma a pancreatic disease?
Med Hypotheses. 1995 Jun; 44(6):516-8.MH

Abstract

Bronchial asthma and diabetes mellitus seldom occur in the same patient. The exact mechanism of this mutual exclusion is still unknown and its elucidation can make clear the physiopathology of both diseases. Clinical and experimental evidences suggest that insulin is a proinflammatory hormone and glucagon an antiinflammatory and a bronchodilator one. We hypothesize that the relationship between plasma insulin and glucagon may play an important role in bronchial asthma.
