ETC complex protein expression levels in quadriceps muscle. (a) Representative Western blot of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) complex proteins from quadriceps muscle of 3 never-smokers, 3 ex-smokers, 3 GOLD Grade 2 COPD patients and 3 GOLD Grade 3/4 COPD patients. (b) Levels of ETC complex proteins V, (c) levels of ETC complex protein III, (d) levels of ETC complex protein II, (e) levels of ETC complex protein I; Healthy never-smoker (n = 5), ex-smoker (n = 4), COPD Grade 2 patients (n = 6), COPD Grade 3/4 (n = 6). Data is expressed as mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01, Mann-Whitney test
