The effect of higher ATP cost of contraction on the metabolic response to graded exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
To better understand the metabolic implications of a higher ATP cost of contraction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we used 31 P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 31 P-MRS) to examine muscle energetics and pH in response to graded exercise. Specifically, in six patients and six we...
