INSERM Unité 408, Paris, France
J Allergy Clin Immunol 113:86-93. 2004..Although asthma and rhinitis often occur together, the reason for this common comorbidity is still a matter of debate...
Interaction between a heme oxygenase-1 gene promoter polymorphism and serum beta-carotene levels on 8-year lung function decline in a general population: the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (France)Armelle Guenegou
Epidémiologie des Maladies Respiratoires, INSERM Unit 700, Faculte Xavier Bichat, Paris, France
Am J Epidemiol 167:139-44. 2008..9). The results suggest that high levels of beta-carotene might counterbalance the effects on FEV1 decline of a genetically determined deficiency in antioxidant response...

INSERM U700, Universite Paris 7, Paris, France
Am J Pathol 173:981-92. 2008..7% versus 8.6%, P = 0.047). No such results were observed in those who had never smoked (n = 297). We conclude that HO-1 has a significant protective effect against airway mucus hypersecretion in animals and humans exposed to CS...
Change in C-reactive protein levels and FEV1 decline: a longitudinal population-based studyRafea Shaaban
National Institute of Health and Medical Research INSERM, Unit 700, Epidémiologie des Maladies Respiratoires, Faculte Xavier Bichat, BP 416, 16 rue Henri Huchard, 75018 Paris, France
Respir Med 100:2112-20. 2006..001). These findings were not affected by adjustment for potential confounders (P=0.002). In conclusion, increases in CRP levels over time were associated with a steeper FEV1 decline...
