Ex vivo contractile properties of diaphragm and EDL

(A–C) Diaphragm. (D–F) EDL. (A) Diaphragm force-frequency curves, ∗mdx, mdxRGT < WT, WTR, mdxGT; ∗∗mdxGT < WT, WTR. (B) Diaphragm power curves, ∗mdx < all groups; ∗∗mdxRGT < WT, WTR, mdxGT; ∗∗∗mdxGT < WT, WTR. (C) Diaphragm isometric force loss during eccentric contractions, ∗mdx < all groups; ∗∗mdxGT, mdxRGT < WT, WTR. (D) EDL stress-frequency curves, ∗mdx < WT, WTR, mdxRGT; ∗∗mdxGT, mdxRGT < WT, WTR. (E) EDL power curves, ∗mdx < all groups; ∗∗mdxGT, mdxRGT < WT. (F) EDL isometric force loss during eccentric contractions. No differences between groups. All comparisons p < 0.05. Mean ± SE. WTR, n = 7; WT, n = 8; mdx, n = 7; mdxGT, n = 8; mdxRGT, n = 8.
