Abstract

<p>MtDNA copy number: COPD group (N = 86, 250.3± 21.5); heathy smokers group (N = 33, 404.0± 76.7); non-smokers group(N = 77, 464.2± 49.9). Results are expressed as mean ± standard error. P<0.001, COPD group vs. non-smokers group; P = 0.08, COPD group vs. heathy smokers group; NS, non-smokers group vs. heathy smokers group.</p
