Abstract
Objective: Chronic allergic asthma (CA) is a respiratory disease that affects millions of people worldwide. While there is evidence linking airway hyperresponsiveness and asthma to factors related to bone metabolism, the impact of asthma on bone health is not well understood. Therefore, to explore whether: (i) CA causes meaningful changes in bone magnesium (Mg) and selenium (Se) levels, and if any, (ii) anti-IgE (anti-immunoglobulin E) treatment has a protective effect against these changes.
 Methods: In present study used tibia bones from a previous study on CA in mice. A murine model was used to generate CA. Thirty-two BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into four equal sized groups (eight mice/group): control group (intact), CA (treated with saline (0.9% NaCl), CA+L-AIgE (100 μg of anti-IgE), CA+H-AIgE (200 μg of anti-IgE). After immunization, saline was administered by inhalation three times a week. Anti-IgE applications were performed intraperitoneally for a total of 8 weeks in five sessions with 15-day intervals. Bone Mg and Se levels are determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), which is used to determine the elemental composition of various samples.
 Results: Mg levels of CA and CA+L-AIgE groups were significantly decreased compared to the control (P
