Celastrol alleviates airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in obese asthma through mediation of alveolar macrophage polarization.

Celastrol from Tripterygium wilfordii roots reduces airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in obese asthma by balancing M1/M2 alveolar macrophage polarization, possibly through the PI3K/AKT pathway. This could lead to new therapeutic options for obese asthma.
