Figure 7. Grp94 protein levels as well as protein carbonylation in response to unilateral mechanical loading in rats exposed to NMB and mechanical ventilation at durations varying from 0 h (controls) to 14 days in the plantaris muscle.

A, Red Ponceau (RP) stainings and Oxyblots (Oxy) from 2, 8 and 13 days in both the loaded and the unloaded side. Bar graph of Oxy/RP in controls (white), unloaded side (grey) and loaded side (black). Values are means + SD. *P < 0.05 (significant difference compared with controls). B, Grp94 expression was analysed by Western blotting of samples from control, and 1, 2, 4, 5 and 8 days in both loaded and unloaded side. Bar graph shows the relative amount of Grp94 normalized to serum albumin (SA) levels in controls (white), unloaded side (grey) and loaded side (black).
