“…Furthermore, the night fall in PEF was positively correlated with change in neutrophils and eosinophils, further indicating a relationship between nocturnal inflammation and decline of pulmonary function in nocturnal asthmatics (Martin et al 1991). Another study investigated FEV 1 and sputum inflammatory cells in mild asthmatics at 4 pm and 7 am resulting in similar findings to the previous studies, that is, lower FEV 1 at 7 am with higher numbers of sputum inflammatory cells compared to 4 pm timepoint (Panzer et al 2003).…”

“…One of the first studies involving 3000 asthma patients found that asthma episodes during washout from regular maintenance asthma treatment occurred 70-fold more frequently between 4 am and 5 am compared to 2 pm-3 pm (Dethlefsen and Repges 1985). Death from severe asthma attacks is also known to mostly occur during the night or early morning (Smolensky and D' Alonzo 1997;Cochrane and Clark 1975).These times coincide with the times at which lung function is reduced and inflammation and airway hyperreactivity is increased (Spengler and Shea 2000;Kraft et al 1996;Jarjour 1999;Martin et al 1991;Hetzel and Clark 1980;Gervais et al 1977;Bonnet et al 1991;Panzer et al 2003;Kelly et al 2004).…”

“…These inflammatory changes have been related to airflow limitation and reversibility [98]. Most investigators view the circadian cycles of cortisol, cholinergic tone, histamine and adrenaline as having theoretical relevance to inflammation, but the specific and detailed mechanistic links among these cycling biological processes and the control of inflammation remain incompletely defined [99].…”
