Physiological analyses of swallowing changes due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in anesthetized male rats

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors investigated how COPD contributes to changes in respiration and swallowing using COPD model rats. The Goddard score, which the authors evaluate using the LAA%, is evaluated by the total points for six sites of lungs (Goddard et_al, 1982). Although the authors used rats for experiments, the results of this study show that the LAA% (about 30%) is two points out of five in the Goddard score, which may be a low level of severity.
• Who: (COPD and colleagues from the University of Florida, United States have published the Article: Physiological analyses of . . .
