TL;DR: The data suggest that TNF-alpha is involved with malnutrition in patients with COPD, and that T NF-alpha may cause a decrease in fat mass in patientswith COPD.

Abstract: To investigate the relationship between malnutrition and TNF-alpha levels in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we measured concentrations of TNF-alpha in serum from fifty four patients with stable COPD. The patients were divided into three groups, according to ideal body weight (IBW): group A, %IBW > or = 90; group B, 90 > %IBW > or = 80; group C, %IBW < 80. Serum TNF-alpha levels in group C were significantly higher than in group A (mean +/- SD; 3.00 +/- 0.43 pg/ml and 2.25 +/- 0.29 pg/ml, respectively, p < 0.0001), group B (2.41 +/- 0.47 pg/ml, p < 0.001), and healthy controls (2.33 +/- 0.30 pg/ml, p < 0.001) who were age- and %IBW-matched with patients in group C. Sixteen patients with COPD underwent body composition analysis by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum TNF-alpha levels in patients with COPD significantly correlated with fat mass (r = -0.67, p < 0.001). No association was observed between lean mass and serum TNF-alpha levels. These data suggest that TNF-alpha is involved with malnutrition in patients with COPD, and that TNF-alpha may cause a decrease in fat mass in patients with COPD.

TL;DR: This review shows that the DPM surface area and adsorbed organic compounds play a significant role in manifesting chemical and cellular processes that if sustained can lead to the development of adverse respiratory health effects.

TL;DR: Genetic factors likely play a major role and probably account for much of the heterogeneity susceptibility to smoke and other factors, and many factors may play a role, but to date, only α-1 protease inhibitor deficiency has been unambiguously identified.

- 01 Jan 2016
TL;DR: In this paper, several aspects of nutritional abnormalities in COPD patients are reviewed: epidemiology, the commonest diagnostic tools, the etiologic factors, muscle protein metabolism and its relationships to exercise, and the currently available therapeutic strategies most frequently used in clinical settings to improve the nutritional status of COPD patient, with a special emphasis on protein and amino acid supplementation and anabolic agents.

TL;DR: This review focuses on nutritional abnormalities, one of the most prominent extrapulmonary manifestations occurring in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), being associated with cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities.

Elevated Circulating Levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor in Severe Chronic Heart Failure
TL;DR: It is indicated that circulating levels of tumor necrosis factor are increased in cachectic patients with chronic heart failure and that this elevation is associated with the marked activation of the renin-angiotensin system seen in patients with end-stage cardiac disease.

Assessment of fat-free mass using bioelectrical impedance measurements of the human body
TL;DR: Data indicate that the bioelectrical impedance technique is a reliable and valid approach for the estimation of human body composition and further validation of this method is recommended in subjects with abnormal body composition.

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for total-body and regional bone-mineral and soft-tissue composition.
TL;DR: Bone mineral density (BMD) and soft-tissue composition of the total body and major subregions were measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and there were no significant differences in mean results or in precision errors between the two speeds.

Differences in interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in induced sputum from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma.
TL;DR: A significant increase in neutrophils and increased concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the patients with COPD compared with the smoking and nonsmoking control subjects means that the cytokines TNF alpha and IL-8 may be involved in the inflammation in COPD.

TL;DR: A subset of patients with COPD with an increased REE and decreased FFM have increased levels of acute phase reactant proteins and inflammatory cytokines in their serum; these phenomena may be causally related.
