Researchers found that long-term albuterol use can lead to accumulation of the (S)-isomer, which reduces anti-inflammatory effects and worsens asthma symptoms. The study suggests that current combination therapies may not be realizing their full potential due to isomer interactions.
A study found that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplements reduced body mass and improved management of adult-onset diabetes. Higher CLA levels were linked to lower leptin levels, a hormone regulating fat levels.
A large-scale study shows that levalbuterol is more effective and produces fewer side effects than racemic albuterol in children. The new formulation contains only the biologically active right isomer of albuterol, making it a valuable alternative for pediatric patients.
