Profiling of mRNA Expression in Quadriceps of Patients with COPD and Muscle Wasting
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Peripheral muscle wasting is a feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Potent therapeutic strategies are needed to improve peripheral muscle mass in these patients. We hypothesized that the evaluation of the mRNA expression profile of quadriceps muscle could be useful in identifying key biochemical pathways involved in the wasting process. We monitored mRNA expression profile of quadriceps muscle...
