Chronic Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Activity Phenocopies Smoking-induced Skeletal Muscle Impairment

2021-05-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> COPD patients exhibit skeletal muscle atrophy, denervation, and reduced mitochondrial oxidative capacity. Whilst chronic tobacco smoke exposure is implicated in COPD muscle impairment, the mechanisms involved are ambiguous.
