Example sentences for: diaphragmatic
How can you use “diaphragmatic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This fatigue resistance has been accompanied by an increased oxidative capacity in the diaphragmatic muscle fibers as demonstrated by increased activities of citrate synthase [ 7 8 ] and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) [ 2 3 ] .
Because mechanical indices of relaxation reflect the function of SERCA in sequestering calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum [ 49 ] , we measured half relaxation times on our diaphragmatic strips.
Other factors that might lead to less impressive MHC shifts in rodent models of emphysema than in humans include the much shorter time course over which the adaptations have a chance to occur, the greater compliance of the rodent thorax to pulmonary hyperexpansion, and differences in the diaphragmatic load created in the human disease in comparison with the animal models that have yet to be fully worked out.
In addition to being the first demonstration of a decrease in the expression of the IIb MHC isoform in an animal model of emphysema, this study is the first to demonstrate that such a shift toward slower isoforms in emphysema has a significant physiologic impact on diaphragmatic function in vitro . We show that both twitch speed and fatiguing properties move toward slower-twitch characteristics with this decrease in IIb expression.
Furthermore, the kinetics of diaphragmatic muscle contraction that one would expect to result from shifts in fiber type distribution, such as time to peak tension, have also generally [ 2 3 6 9 ] , but not always [ 7 ] , been found to be unaltered in emphysema.
