Table 4.

Relative changes in lower extremity muscle fat by local fat compartment

Lower extremity muscle assessed Mean % change in EMCL Mean % change in IMCL Mean % change in the muscle’s total lipid content
Soleus +24% −39% −9.6%
Vastus Lateralis +11% −23% −16%

Notes: Percentage changes was determined (difference between post-roflumilast and pre-roflumilast multiplied by 100% and then divided by pre-roflumilast value) for each subject and then averaged to obtain mean percentage changes.

Abbreviations: EMCL, extramyocellular lipid; IMCL, intramyocellular lipid.
