From: Eicosapentaenoic acid preserves diaphragm force generation following endotoxin administration
Diaphragm calpain activity. Diaphragm calpain activity was significantly increased for samples taken from animals after LPS treatment (filled bar) as compared to controls (open bar) (P < 0.001). EPA administration reduced this increase in diaphragm calpain activity, with calpain activity lower for the EPA plus LPS group (light grey bar) as compared to LPS treated animals (P < 0.02). Diaphragm calpain activity for samples from animals given EPA alone (dark grey bar) was similar to levels for the control group. * indicates a significant statistical difference from the other groups.
