Figure 3

This figure displays caspase 3 activity levels, expressed as AMC substrate cleavage rates, for diaphragm homogenates from the four experimental groups. LPS administration elicited a significant increase in diaphragm caspase 3 activity compared to controls (* indicates statistical significance). HMB blocked this increase in diaphragm caspase 3 activity, with HMB+LPS or HMB alone groups demonstrating caspase 3 activity levels similar to saline treated controls.
