A PROPOSAL TO ACCOUNT FOR THE STIMULUS, THE MECHANISM, AND THE MEDIATORS RELEASED IN EXERCISE-INDUCED BRONCHOCONSTRICTION

A proposal to account for the stimulus, the mechanism, and the mediators released in exercise-induced bronchoconstriction

Exercise Air Diffusers induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes the transient narrowing of the airways that follows vigorous exercise.It commonly occurs in children and adults who have asthma and in elite athletes.The primary stimulus is proposed to be loss of water, by evaporation, from the airway surface due to conditioning inspired air.The me

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Tibouchina hatschbachii (Melastomataceae), an endemic and habitat-restricted shrub from Brazil

Tibouchina hatschbachii Wurdack (Melastomataceae) is an autogamous shrub restricted to granite (GO) and sandstone (SO) Machine Package rock outcrops from subtropical Brazil.We designed primers for the amplification of microsatellite regions for T.hatschbachii, and characterized these primers to estimate genetic diversity parameters and contemporary
