Reduced airway levels of fatty-acid binding protein 4 in COPD: relationship with airway infection and disease severity

Abstract Background For still unclear reasons, chronic airway infection often occurs in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), particularly in those with more severe airflow limitation. Fatty-acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) is an adipokine involved in the innate immune response a...
