Muscle wasting and the temporal gene expression pattern in a novel rat intensive care unit model
1 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM) or critical illness myopathy (CIM) is frequently observed in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. To elucidate duration-dependent effects of the ICU intervention on molecular and functional networks that control the muscle wasting and weakness associated with AQM, a gene expression profile was analyzed at time points varying from 6 hours to 14 days in a unique...
