Abstract

Rationale Peripheral muscle alterations have been recognized to contribute to disability in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Objectives To describe the mitochondrial phenotype in a moderate to severe COPD population and age-matched controls. Methods Three primary aspects of mitochondrial function were assessed in permeabilized locomotor muscle fibers. Measurements and main results Respiration rates per milligram of fiber weight were significantly lower in COPD muscle compared with healthy age-matched control muscle under various respiratory states. However, when variations in mitochondrial volume were taken into account by normalizing respiration per unit of citrate synthase activity, differences between the two groups were abolished, suggesting the absence of specific mitochondrial respiratory impairment in COPD. H(2)O(2) production per mitochondrion was higher both under basal and ADP-stimulated states, suggesting that mitochondria from COPD muscle have properties that potentiate H(2)O(2) release. Direct assessment of mitochondrial sensitivity to Ca(2+)-induced opening of the permeability transition pore (PTP) indicated that mitochondria from patients with COPD were more resistant to PTP opening than their counterparts in control subjects. Conclusions Comparison of these results with those of studies comparing healthy glycolytic with oxidative muscle suggests that these differences may be attributable to greater type II fiber expression in COPD muscle, as mitoc…

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Some authors have found increased COX activity in COPD patients with resting hypoxemia and with exercise hypoxemia, while others have not found any significant increase.

    “While some authors have found an increased COX activity in COPD patients with resting hypoxemia [96] and with exercise hypoxemia [97], others have not found any significant increase [98].”
  • Picard and colleagues observed decreased state 2 and state 3 respiration in COPD fibers compared to healthy controls; normalization with respect to citrate synthase activity abolished these differences.

    “First, Picard and colleagues observed a decreased state 2 and state 3 respiration in COPD fibers compared to healthy controls. However, a normalization with respect to the citrate synthase activity abolished these differences [98].”
  • Permeabilized muscle fibers from COPD patients show more resistance to Ca2+-induced mPTP opening than those from healthy controls, attributed to an increased proportion of type II fibers, which are intrinsically more resistant.

    “Picard and colleagues reported that there was more resistance to Ca2+-induced mPTP opening in permeabilized muscle fibers from COPD patients than in those from healthy control subjects, attributed to the increased proportion of type II fibers, which are intrinsically more resistant to Ca2+-induced mPTP opening [98].”
  • In permeabilized fibers normalized per unit of citrate synthase activity, H2O2 release is significantly higher in COPD patients compared to control subjects during state 2 and state 3:CII.

    “Picard and colleagues also showed in permeabilized fibers normalized per unit of citrate synthase activity that H2O2 release was significantly higher in COPD patients compared to control subjects during state 2 and state 3:CII [98].”

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.
