Glucosamine salts are effective for the inhibition ofnneutrophil functions, and hence, are useful for the preventionnand/or treatment of diseases, caused as a result of an excessivenextracellular release of active oxygen and antibiotic proteinsnby neutrophils, such as respiratory disease syndrome and adultnrespiratory disease syndrome. Use of glucosamine salts can,ntherefore, provide neutrophil function inhibitors,npreventives and/or remedies for diseases caused as a result ofnan excessive extracellular release of active oxygen andnantibiotic proteins by neutrophils, and also methods for thenprevention and/or treatment of such diseases. |
