Summary
BDNF has been linked to the pathogenesis of airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma. In this
trial, the impact of a treatment with salmeterol and salmeterol / fluticasone on BDNF
concentrations will be assessed in patients with asthma. The investigators hypothesize that
salmeterol impacts on BDNF concentrations in patients with asthma.
