This suggests that the effects of emphysema on the diaphragm are, as has been suggested by others, at least in part a function of increased workload.
Although most of the experimental work on adaptation of the diaphragm to emphysema has been performed in hamsters, rats also develop significant and often marked increases in lung volumes and compliance, and reductions in expiratory flows, after intratracheal administration of elastase [ 14 15 16 17 18 ] . MHC adaptation in emphysematous rat diaphragm has not been studied systematically.
A physiologically significant shift toward slower MHC isoforms does occur in elastase-induced emphysema in rodents as it does in severe human emphysema, but in the animal model the shift occurs at the faster end of the isoform spectrum, primarily between the type II isoforms.
Our finding in the diaphragms of rats with emphysema is very similar to that demonstrated by Sugiura et al.
These changes are qualitatively similar to those reported in severe human emphysema [ 12 13 ] : that is, they too are manifested as a shift toward slower MHC isoforms.
