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.
