简要总结

A double blind randomised placebo controlled parallel trial of the effect of fosinopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, on the quadriceps muscle in 80 COPD patients who have quadriceps weakness. Patients will have a baseline assessment including measures of quadriceps strength and endurance and a quadriceps biopsy. Patients with weakness will be randomised to ACE inhibitor or placebo and re-assessed after three months of treatment.

The investigators aim to show that ACE-inhibition will alter the IGF-1/AKT/FoXO/atrogene pathways involved in muscle wasting in COPD.

入选标准

  • Adult patient with COPD diagnosed according to GOLD criteria.

排除标准

  • Allergy to ACE-inhibitors.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Patients will not be enrolled within three months of participation in a pulmonary rehabilitation program.
