Abstract
Exercise is a common stimulus of bronchoconstriction in subjects with asthma, who also have bronchoconstriction after inhaling the sulfidopeptide leukotriene D4 (LTD4). The purpose of this study was to investigate the importance of LTD4 as a mediator of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
