The present invention provides a method for diagnosing asthma by using a panel of internal lipid species, including LPE 22:6, LPE 20:4, SM 16:0, PE 16:0/22:6, PE 18:0/22:6, PE 18:0/20:4 PE 18:0/18:2, and phosphatidylcholine (PC) 18:0/18:2, comprising comparing a cutoff ratio value of the panel of internal lipid species with internal lipid species ratio value for diagnosing. The present invention also provides a method for treating asthma, comprising administrating a therapeutically effective amount of a LEP 22:6 inhibitory regulator, bovine serum albumin or human serum albumin to a subject in need thereof. |
