Alterations in plasma hyaluronic acid in patients with clinically stable COPD versus (non)smoking controls

Abstract Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key component of the extracellular matrix. HA and its metabolism are suggested to be altered in the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study explored systemic HA, and its metabolic regulators, in patients with clinicall...
