Abstract

Most of the studies linking chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with oxidative stress are in vitro, using invasive techniques, or measuring systemic oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to quantify oxidative stress in the lungs in patients with COPD and in healthy smokers, as reflected by 8-isoprostane concentrations in breath condensate. This is a noninvasive method to collect airway secretions. 8-Isoprostane is a prostaglandin-F(2alpha) isomer that is formed in vivo by free radical-catalyzed peroxidation of arachidonic acid. We also studied the acute effect of smoking on exhaled 8-isoprostane in healthy smokers. Exhaled 8-isoprostane was measured by a specific enzyme immunoassay in 10 healthy nonsmokers and 12 smokers, 25 COPD ex-smokers, and 15 COPD current smokers. 8-Isoprostane concentrations were similar in COPD ex-smokers (40 +/- 3.1 pg/ml) and current smokers (45 +/- 3.6 pg/ ml) and were increased about 1.8-fold compared with healthy smokers (24 +/- 2.6 pg/ml, p < 0.001), who had 2.2-fold higher 8-isoprostane than healthy nonsmokers (10.8 +/- 0.8 pg/ml, p < 0.05). Smoking caused an acute increase in exhaled 8-isoprostane by about 50%. Our study shows that free radical production is increased in patients with COPD and that smoking causes an acute increase in oxidative stress.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
