Pathophysiological features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) include systemic abnormalities, such as weight loss and skeletal muscle wasting. Although cigarette smoke (CS) is a major risk factor in COPD, the systemic effects of CS exposure remain to be elucidated. In this study, rats were exposed to CS or smoke-free air for 12 weeks. CS-exposed rats developed emphysema and had significantly lower body weight and food intake than control rats. The plasma ghrelin levels significantly increased with an upregulation of gastric ghrelin mRNA expression induced by CS exposure. Further, we observed low plasma insulin-like growth factor-1 levels and high tumor necrosis factor-α levels. A significant reduction of skeletal muscle strength and an increase in the mRNA expression of catabolic factors was observed in CS-exposed rats. These results indicated that chronic CS exposure induced not only pulmonary emphysema but also systemic abnormalities related to muscle catabolism associated with inflammatory responses.

D004646 Emphysema A pathological accumulation of air in tissues or organs.
D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm. Messenger RNA,Messenger RNA, Polyadenylated,Poly(A) Tail,Poly(A)+ RNA,Poly(A)+ mRNA,RNA, Messenger, Polyadenylated,RNA, Polyadenylated,mRNA,mRNA, Non-Polyadenylated,mRNA, Polyadenylated,Non-Polyadenylated mRNA,Poly(A) RNA,Polyadenylated mRNA,Non Polyadenylated mRNA,Polyadenylated Messenger RNA,Polyadenylated RNA,RNA, Polyadenylated Messenger,mRNA, Non Polyadenylated
