From: Lung-protective ventilation worsens ventilator-induced diaphragm atrophy and weakness
LPV promoted protein degradation in the diaphragm. (a), western blots for atrophy markers LC3B–I/II, MuRF–1 and Atrogin–1; The LC3B–II/I ratio (b), MuRF–1 (c) and Atrogin–1 (d) expressions in the LPV and the CV groups were significantly higher than that in the CON group; In addition, LPV increased the protein expressions of those atrophic markers as compared with the CV strategy. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. CON group; #p < 0.05, ###p < 0.001 vs. CV group
