Women with COPD by biomass show different serum profile of adipokines, incretins, and peptide hormones than smokers
Abstract Background The main causes of COPD are tobacco smoking (COPD-TS) and biomass smoke exposure (COPD-BS). COPD-TS is known to induce changes in adipokines, incretins, and peptide hormones, frequent biomarkers of inflammation; however, it is unknown if similar changes occur in COPD-BS. Methods...
