From: Plasma from septic shock patients induces loss of muscle protein
Effect of septic shock plasma on E3-ligase expression during ICU stay. Muscle Atrophy F-box protein (MAFbx) and Muscle RING Finger protein-1 (MuRF-1) expression in myotubes that were exposed for 24 hours to plasma from healthy controls (n = 5) and plasma derived from patients with septic shock (n = 9) at admission (Day 0) and two, five and seven days after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). *P < 0.01 vs. controls. #P < 0.05 vs. Day 0.
