Introduction: Chronic inflammation of the lung is a characteristic finding in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Leptin is a pleiotropic cytokine thought to play a role in host response to inflammation. As recent studies have shown that leptin receptors are present in the lung, this study aimed to determine if leptin is detectable in induced sputum of COPD patients and if there is a relationship...
CD8+ve T-cell responses play a primary role in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but there is little information regarding COPD exacerbations. Sputum induction is a relatively non-invasive and safe method to study airway inflammation. The aim of the study was to investigate changes in airway T-lymphocyte subpopulations at the onset of severe COPD exacerbations via analysis of sputum. Induced...
