Fig. 4.
Myofibrillar protein, myosin heavy chain, mRNA expression (left Y-axis) and myosin:actin protein ratios from a whole biopsy (right Y-axis) in a patient with AQM (M7) from whom muscle samples were collected prior to ICU admission, in the acute phase and during the recovery process. Expression of MyHCIIa (filled circles), MyHCI (open circles), fetal MyHC (filled triangles), and actin (open triangles) mRNA are represented by lines (values are mRNA starting quantity). Myosin:actin protein ratio is represented by grey filled bars.
