Changes in markers of mitochondrial biogenesis and content before (open bars) and after (dark bars) training in COPD patients. (A) EET had no effect on PGC-1α mRNA in contrast to CET. Similarly, (B) EET had no effect on PGC-1α content as detected in situ within specific fiber types, whereas CET led to an overall increase in PGC-1α content. (C) Analysis of electron transport chain complexes revealed no effect of EET, whereas concentric training increased both Complex I and Complex II content. Bar values are means ± SEM. **Significant difference compared with pre-training values, p < 0.01.*Significant difference compared with pre-training values, p < 0.05.
