Myostatin/Smad2/Smad3 pathway define a differential clinical phenotype in COPD-associated sarcopenia by Adriana Núñez-Robainas, Maria Guitart, Adrián López-Postigo, Antonio Sancho-Muñoz, Esther Barreiro

“…Among sarcopenic patients, myostatin and p-Smad3/Smad3 levels negatively correlated with fat-free mass index (r=−0.727, p=0.026 and r=−0.703, p=0.035, respectively), myostatin and Smad4 levels correlated with quadriceps strength (r=−0.886, p=0.003 and r=−0.431, p=0.040, respectively) and myostatin correlated with diffusion capacity (r=−0.781, p=0.022). Remarkable negative correlations were observed between clinical parameters related to body composition and quadriceps muscle strength and levels of the myostatin Smad2/Smad3 pathway, suggesting its implication in the process of muscle atrophy in COPD. …”
