We evaluated the circulating biomarkers of NMJ degradation, including c-terminal agrin fragment -22 (CAF22), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) as predictors of sarcopenia in COPD during pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). The gene discussed is BDNF; the disease is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
