Question: The following is an exerpt from Phytomedicine 2008 Jun;15(6-7):400-7. 2008 Jan 28. Boswellic acids: A leukotriene inhibitor also effective through topical application in inflammatory disorders:

"Boswellic acids (BA), a natural mixture isolated from oleo gum resin of Boswellia serrata comprised of four major pentacyclic triterpene acids: beta-boswellic acid (the most abundant), 3-acteyl-beta-boswellic acid, 11-keto-beta-boswellic acid, and 3-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid, is reported to be effective as anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-tumor, anti-asthmatic and in Crohn's disease. It inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators in the body, specifically leukotrienes via inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase, the key enzyme of leukotriene synthesis, is the scientifically proved mechanism for its anti-inflammatory/anti-arthritic activity"

In an experiment, a researcher randomly assigns previously diagnosed asthmatic subjects into one of four groups: Placebo, 450mg dose, 900mg dose, 1350mg dose.

This study proceeds for approximately 6 months. At the end of six months, each subject donates a vial of blood and has their plasma levels of leukotrienB4 measured using chromatographic fractionation and radioimmunoassay. The results are shown below. All concentrations are in pg/ml:
