This is a Destreza Glossary, a compendium of words and concepts from the old Spanish Martial Art of Fencing, not necessary to be just Verdadera Destreza, but also Vulgar or Common Destreza. This glossary has been done using the treatises of many Destreza authors. Sometimes, there is no consistency among them so I selected which I personally believe is more accurate or even simpler at any situation. It is subjected to my bias, and therefore there will be people trying to burn me alive for it (I do not expect less from some despicable individuals), nevertheless the warning is done and my conscience is clear. Notwithstanding this bias, I believe this to be a very good approach to new diestros (Destreza users), without the need of suffering endless re-search for a particular word or concept, something that in this art happens very often.
This nomenclature is the one that matches my teachings and can be found in the page of my personal project that I called Destreza Nova (https://destrezanova.ca/home/).

Background: Despite its reported pro-inflammatory activity, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 has been proposed to play a protective role in asthma. Accordingly, COX-2 might be down-regulated in the airway cells of asthmatics. This, together with results of experiments to assess the impact of COX-2 blockade in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice in vivo, led us to propose a novel experimental approach using house dust mite (HDM)-sensitized mice in which we mimicked altered regulation of COX-2.

Allergy 1999, 54, 569±575. Background: Because little is known about the effects of asthma and asthma therapy on lipid and protein metabolism, we have investigated the characteristics of diet and plasma/serum levels of fat and protein in a group of asthma patients with various degrees of severity.
