The effects of inspiratory muscle training on plasma interleukin-6 concentration during cycling exercise and a volitional mimic of the exercise hyperpnea [PDF]

, 2013
It is unknown whether the respiratory muscles contribute to exercise-induced increases in plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentration, if this is related to diaphragm fatigue, and whether inspiratory muscle training (IMT) attenuates the plasma IL-6 ...

Specific motor cortex hypoexcitability and hypoactivation in COPD patients with peripheral muscle weakness

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2020
Background Peripheral muscle weakness can be caused by both peripheral muscle and neural alterations. Although peripheral alterations cannot totally explain peripheral muscle weakness in COPD, the existence of an activation deficit remains controversial.
