From: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease does not impair responses to resistance training
Effects of the resistance training intervention on total RNA content (A) and rRNA expression (B–F) in m. vastus lateralis of COPD (n = 19) and Healthy (n = 55). Data are presented as fold changes from baseline to Week 3½ (Post-intro RT; seven training sessions) and to after the training intervention (Post RT; 26 training sessions). Total RNA (A), 18s rRNA (B), 28s rRNA (C), 5.8s rRNA (D) 5s rRNA (E) and 45s pre-rRNA (F) abundances. Total RNA- and qPCR-analyses were assessed as per-amounts of tissue weight, as previously described [22, 26]. #statistical difference in fold change between COPD and Healthy (alpha level, p < 0.05). Data are presented as means with 95% confidence limits
