In addition, in an attempt to unravel the mechanism of the observed impairment, we examined alterations in insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) serum levels and IGF-I expression in the liver, diaphragm, and gastrocnemius. In a second series of rats (VD, n = 5 and Co, n = 5) hemodynamic measurements were performed. All measurements were performed 3 mo after the operation. Infarct size averaged 32 \u00b1 10 and 44 \u00b1 20% in the two series, respectively (NS). Hemodynamic measurements revealed a decrease in left ventricular peak systolic pressure of 19% (p &amp;lt; 0.05). Significant diaphragm atrophy (weight: 622 \u00b1 52 mg in VD versus 750 \u00b1 54 mg in Co, p &amp;lt; 0.0005), without alterations in diaphragm contractile properties was present in VD animals. For all animals combined, the reduction in diaphragm weight was related to infarct size (r = \u2212 0.74, p &amp;lt; 0.001). No alterations were observed in the other inspiratory and peripheral muscles. ATPase staining of the diaphragm showed atrophy of type I and type IIx\/b fibers, their cross-sectional area (CSA) being reduced by 13 and 16%, respectively (p &amp;lt; 0.05). There were no signs of myopathic alterations. IGF-I expression was increased by 55% in the diaphragm of rats with VD (p &amp;lt; 0.05). IGF-I expression in the liver and gastrocnemius and serum IGF-I levels were unaltered. These data suggest the presence of compensatory mechanisms aimed at minimizing diaphragmatic fiber atrophy. We conclude that systolic VD caused: (1) selective diaphragm atrophy, which was related to infarct size; (2) a decrease in diaphragm type I and IIx\/b CSA not associated with myopathic changes; (3) an increase in the IGF-I mRNA content of the diaphragm. The selective diaphragm involvement in the present study may be related to the moderate degree of ventricular dysfunction induced.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.158.6.9710028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,4]],"date-time":"2013-04-04T13:51:12Z","timestamp":1365083472000},"page":"1963-1967","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Systolic
