Figure 6

Delta force, corrected for cross-sectional area, in single fibers before and after incubation with DTT and diaphragm 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal optical density. (a) Delta force in MV + H (both n = 16) versus CON and MV groups was significant increased (*P <0.05). (b) 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal was not significantly different between groups. CON, control; DTT, dithiothreitol; MV, mechanically ventilated; MV + H, mechanically ventilated with hypercapnia.
