Our results for MHC expression in rat diaphragm from normal and emphysematous rats must be viewed first in the light of previous quantitative studies of MHC expression in normal rat diaphragm that used techniques able to separate out all known isoforms.
[ 45 ] have shown this in single fibers from rat diaphragm.
Among these are diaphragm fiber shortening with a corresponding shift in the length-tension curve [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] and variable changes in the contractile properties of diaphragm strips in vitro [ 2 3 5 6 ] . Increased fatigue resistance of the muscle is the single alteration in contractile properties that has been most consistently [ 2 3 6 ] , though not always [ 7 ] , identified.
Although various treadmill-running protocols have shown increases in the aerobic capacity of the rat diaphragm [ 32 34 35 36 37 ] , running has generally not been demonstrated to cause consistent changes in the relative expression of MHC isoforms [ 29 38 ] . Although one paper has shown a decrease in type IIb fibers and an increase in type I fibers [ 38 ] , and another has shown only a significant decrease in type IIb fibers [ 39 ] , a third paper reported a surprising increase in type IIb fibers [ 40 ] .
LIF and CNTF stimulate muscle regeneration in vivo [ 62 63 ] , as do other growth factors; such as insulin-like growth factor [ 64 65 ] . The power of LIF to regenerate muscle is seen in dystrophin null mdx mice, where exogenous LIF regenerates atrophied diaphragm muscle [ 66 ] . LIF induced signaling appears to be essential in muscle development as seen by muscle atrophy in the absence of LIFR on E18.
