Mitochondrial function in diaphragm of emphysematous hamsters after treatment with nandrolone
Respiratory failure in patients with COPD may be caused by insufficient force production or insufficient endurance capacity of the respiratory muscles. Anabolic steroids may improve respiratory muscle function in COPD. The effect of anabolic steroids on mitochondrial function in the diaphragm in emphysema is unknown. In an emphysematous male hamster model, we investigated whether administration...
متن کاملEffects of anabolic steroids on diaphragm impairment induced by methylprednisolone in emphysematous hamsters.
This study was designed to investigate whether the administration of the anabolic steroid nandrolone decanoate is able to antagonize the loss in diaphragm function induced by long-term administration of a low-dose of methylprednisolone in emphysematous hamsters. Normal and emphysematous male hamsters were randomized to receive either saline or methylprednisolone 0.2 mg x kg(-1) x day(-1) for 9 ...
متن کاملLong-term effects of clenbuterol on diaphragm morphology and contractile properties in emphysematous hamsters.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of chronic long-term clenbuterol treatment (1 mg/kg subcutaneously twice a day for 12 wk) on diaphragm morphology and function in emphysematous (EH) and normal hamsters (NH). Clenbuterol increased body weight, diaphragm weight, and skeletal muscle weight in both EH and NH to a similar extent. In the diaphragm, clenbuterol significantly ...
متن کاملInsulin-like growth factor I prevents corticosteroid-induced diaphragm muscle atrophy in emphysematous hamsters.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (rhIGF-I) could attenuate or prevent diaphragm (DIA) fiber atrophy with corticosteroid (CS) administration to emphysematous (EMP) hamsters. DIA muscle IGF-I responses to CS administration with and without exogenous rhIGF-I administration were evaluated. Three groups were studied: 1) EMP; 2) EMP + triamc...
