Rapid Disuse Atrophy of Diaphragm Fibers in Mechanically Ventilated Human ... Background The combination of complete diaphragm inactivity and mechanical ventilation (for more than 18 hours) elicits disuse atrophy of myofibers in animals. We hypothesized that the same may also occur in the human diaphragm.

Thus, whereas several NF- B family members are up-regulated, the prototypical markers of cytokine-induced activation of NF- B seen with disease-related wasting are not evident during disuse atrophy. Levels of an anti-apoptotic NF- B target, Bcl-2, were increased fourfold whereas proapoptotic proteins Bax and Bak decreased.
