Why the study?
Is the early lactate response to exercise in COPD related to alterations in exercise-related substrate levels in resting muscle associated with physical inactivity?

Early lactic acidosis during exercise in COPD patients is associated with a physical inactivity-related reduction in muscle glutamate, though factors like PaO2 and DLCO also play a role depending on COPD subtype.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May link early lactate rise to inactivity-related muscle changes in COPD; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Engelen et al. (2000) studied this question.
