Abstract
To investigate energy metabolic and transporter characteristics in resting muscle of patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD; forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) = 42 +/- 6.0% (mean +/- SE)], tissue was extracted from resting vastus lateralis (VL) of 9 COPD patients and compared with that of 12 healthy control subjects (FEV(1) = 114 +/- 3.4%). Compared with controls, lower (P < 0.05) concentrations (mmol/kg dry wt) of ATP (19.6 +/- 0.65 vs. 17.8 +/- 0.69) and phosphocreatine (81.3 +/- 2.3 vs. 69.1 +/- 4.2) were observed in COPD, which occurred in the absence of differences in the total adenine nucleotide and total creatine pools. Higher concentrations were observed in COPD for several glycolytic metabolites (glucose-1-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, pyruvate) but not lactate. Glycogen storage was not affected by the disease (289 +/- 20 vs. 269 +/- 20 mmol glucosyl units/kg dry wt). Although no difference between groups was observed for the glucose transporter GLUT1, GLUT4 was reduced by 28% in COPD. For the monocarboxylate transporters, MCT4 was 35% lower in COPD, with no differences observed for MCT1. These results indicate that in resting VL, moderate to severe COPD results in a reduction in phosphorylation potential, an apparent elevation of glycolytic flux rate, and a potential defect in glucose and lactate transport as a result of reduced levels of the principal isoforms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
