Evidence that a higher ATP cost of muscular contraction contributes to the lower mechanical efficiency associated with COPD: Preliminary findings

Evidence that a higher ATP cost of muscular contraction contributes to the lower mechanical efficiency associated with COPD: Preliminary findings

Impaired metabolism in peripheral skeletal muscles potentially contributes to exercise intolerance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We used 31 P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 31 P-MRS) to examine the energy cost and skeletal muscle energetics in six patients with COPD during dyn...
