“…Asthma is an intricate, multifactorial disease with appearance from genetic predisposition, immunological responses, and intermediate of environmental elements. It recollects as a foremost public health challenge that affects 100–150 million human beings across the globe [16]. In the current study, the incidence of bronchial asthma is higher among females than males in alignment with the earlier research [17].…”

“…An association study was designed in the literature to understand whether an allelic variation on the glutathione-S-transferase GSTP1 locus, affects the expression of BHR and atopy phenotypes in bronchial asthma. The enzyme encoded by GSTP1 makes use of a ramification of lipid and DNA products of oxidative pressure whereas the polymorphic editions of this gene are related with the enzyme’s altered catalytic function [9, 16].…”

“…Due to the single nucleotide replacement of adenine (A) by guanine (G) in the GSTP1 gene, which leads to the replacement of the isoleucine amino acids (Ile105) by valine (Val105), there is a change in the enzymatic activity, which causes an increase in the level of hydrophobic adducts in lung tissue and in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of the DNA adducts in blood lymphocytes. The GSTP1 polymorphism is a candidate for the development of asthmatic symptoms because it is responsible for catabolism of the lipid by-products and DNA oxidation, influencing the binding of hydrophobic electrophiles and substrate-specific catalytic activity of the enzyme [14].…”

“…This interaction result in a loss of enzyme activity, but it is essential because it protects cells from toxic substances that could interact and damage DNA and other macromolecules . However, exposure to certain air pollutants may increase oxidative stress in the epithelial tissue of the upper airways, causing inflammation of the lung tissue, because of the absence of specific detoxifying enzymes or the reduce activity of these enzymes . Through the phase I and phase II detoxification reactions, the cell is able to detoxify endogenous and exogenous toxic compounds .…”
