Abstract:Corticosteroid resistance is the essential obstacle for effective
treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Oxidative
stress and persistent chronic inflammation caused by cigarette smoke are
likely to induce this corticosteroid insensitivity. Salidroside (Sal) is
a main ingredient of traditional Chinese medicine rhodiola, which has
the effects of anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory. We aimed to
investigate the role of Sal in the corticosteroid sensitivity of COPD.
