Respiratory and/or limb muscle dysfunction, which are frequently observed in chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, contribute to their disease prognosis …

A link between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and lung diseases has been observed in several
cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. This syndrome has been identified as an …

Adipokines, factors produced by adipose tissue, may be proinflammatory (such as leptin and
resistin) or anti‐inflammatory (such as adiponectin). Effects of these adipokines on the lungs …

Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations are associated with
disease progression, higher healthcare cost, and increased mortality. Published predictors …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the
lung and whole body caused mainly by tobacco smoking. Patients with advanced COPD are …

This review summarizes the state of the current literature relating to the associations of lung
disease on obesity and adipokines (proteins produced by adipose tissue) in humans …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can no longer be considered as a disease
affecting only the lungs. Increasing evidence supports the presence of a systemic …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus are
common and underdiagnosed medical conditions. It was predicted that chronic obstructive …

Adipose tissue produces leptin and adiponectin–energy-regulating adipokines that may also
play a role in inflammatory pulmonary conditions, as suggested by some murine studies …

Objectives We aimed to investigate the importance of neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for identifying the severity of …
