Research Abstract |
Leptin receptor was ubiquitously expressed in human lung. Although Leptin receptor mRNA expression was decreased in COPD lung, there was no relationship between the expression with human airway epithelial cells or small vessels in lung. In COPD lung tissues, the volume of airway epithelial cells and small vessels might be decreased, however the volume of vessels in lung field measured using CT data did not correlate with the expression of leptin receptor mRNA . On the other hand, there was a significant relationship between the polymorphisms of leptin receptor gene and diffusion capacity. More cases are continuously collecting.
