Figure 1From: Inhibition of AMPK expression in skeletal muscle by systemic inflammation in COPD ratsDecrease of body weight in the COPD model rats. The body weight of the COPD model rats (filled circles in pink) (n = 13) was significantly reduced, in comparison to the body weight in the control rats (filled circles in black) (n = 12). AICAR treatment (n = 13, filled circles in red) prevented the reduction of body weight in the COPD model rats. **p < 0.01; student t test.Back to article page
