Abstract:
Objective To explore the change of serum leptin and significance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods The levels of leptin and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) of 34 COPD patients in stationary phase and 16 healthy people were measured by radioimmunoassay. The ideal body weight percentage(IBW%), triceps skin-fold thickness(TSF), arm muscle circumference(AMC), creatinine height index percentage(CHI%), total lymphocyte(TLC), albumin(ALB) were determined at the same time. The differences of parameters between patients and healthy people were compared. The correlation between parameters and leptin levels was analysed. Results Nutritional parameters were lower in COPD patients than in healthy controls(P
