Albuterol decreases immune responses: role of activated T cells

Racemic albuterol is an equimolar mixture of two isomers, (R) and (SThese studies suggest that (R)-albuterol decreases cytokine secretion and NF-κB activity in T cells.

Finally, our data suggest that the effects of (R)-albuterol may be mediated by alterations in the activity of the inflammatory transcription factor NF-κB. NF-κB regulates the expression of a wide range of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses Our study indicates that (R)-albuterol decreases cytokine production and NF-κB activity in activated T cells.

Sounds positive for UC - anyone using or used this before ?

And the yellow one, and some generic white ones, too. I used to take it in liquid form when I was 8-10 before I could properly use an inhaler (before they had all the fancy devices to help kids with asthma) and that used to make me feel so miserable. Jittery and nauseated, yuck!

@ aguywithuc, realize this thread is a bit old. Did you have luck with this?

I became mild / moderately active again Feb 4th, the same day I contracted a nasty chest infection. Cycled through budesonide, prednisone, no luck. Studying diet modification trying to implement changes. Also researching what I would call DIY TNF-Alpha attenuation. Going to run oral Albuterol day time, Oral Ketotifen fumarate night time.
