Rather, it is an essential regulator of metabolism: mice lacking FIH exhibit reduce...

The diagnosis and treatment of exercise-induced asthma are well characterized. Other syndromes, such as exercise-induced vocal cord dysfunction, exercise-induced paradoxical arytenoid motion, and exercise-induced hyperventilation, are relatively common but so far are described primarily in uncontrol...
