From: Similar matrix alterations in alveolar and small airway walls of COPD patients
Increased hyaluronan in both alveolar and small airway walls of COPD patients. Photomicrographs of hyaluronan in alveolar walls of one representative control subject (A), GOLD II patient (B), GOLD IV patient (C) and small airway walls of a control (D), a GOLD II patient (E) and a GOLD IV patient (F). Quantitative measured hyaluronan content in alveolar walls (G) and small airway walls (H). Data were analysed using ANCOVA and results are expressed as means + SD; *P < 0.05 compared to control.
