Abstract:
Functional immobility of the diaphragm by mechanical ventilation impairs neuromuscular transmission and may result in ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. We compared 3 diaphragmatic immobilization models with respect to their effects on expression of adult and fetal acetylcholine receptors (AChRs), muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK), and muscle fiber morphology.Diaphragms of rats were immobilized by either: (1) phrenicotomy; (2) presynaptic tetrodotoxin nerve blockade; o...     »
