Among these, five major respiratory conditions are commonly studied in comparative animal physiology and biochemistry: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and hypoxia. Asthma is a condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and reduced oxygen intake. In animals, asthma-like conditions are observed particularly in horses and companion animals, where airway hyperresponsiveness triggers bronchoconstriction. Biochemically, increased histamine and leukotriene levels play a significant role in inducing airway inflammation.
