Fluticasone/salmeterol reduces remodelling and neutrophilic inflammation in severe equine asthma

Abstract Asthmatic airways are inflamed and undergo remodelling. Inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2-agonist combinations are more effective than inhaled corticosteroid monotherapy in controlling disease exacerbations, but their effect on airway remodelling and inflammation remains ill-define...
