Myosin heavy chain and physiological adaptation of the rat diaphragm in elastase-induced emphysema

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Several physiological adaptations occur in the respiratory muscles in rodent models of elastase-induced emphysema. Although the contractile properties of the diaphragm are altered in a way that suggests expression of slower isoforms...
