Abstract

Loss of skeletal muscle mass is now recognised as an important feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which contributes to symptoms and influences prognosis. The changes in skeletal muscle remain poorly understood, largely because only a few studies have been performed to define the adaptations in whole body and muscle protein metabolism in COPD. The first sections of this review summarise background information about skeletal muscle wasting in COPD, and focuses on the studies concerned with amino acid profiles and protein synthesis and degradation rates. To aid interpretation some discussion of the techniques commonly used is included. A variety of different catabolic factors may determine whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients become cachectic. The precise role for each one of these factors as well as the intracellular pathways activated in muscle as a result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are unknown and remain to be defined. Details of the actions of a range of different catabolic factors and potential mechanisms will be discussed.

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.
