TL;DR: The hypothesis that MV is associated with atrophy of all diaphragmatic fiber types, increased diaphagmatic protease activity, and augmented diaphRAGmatic oxidative stress is supported.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that heat stress before hindlimb unweighting can reduce the rate of disuse muscle atrophy.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the myonnuclear domain of diaphragm myofibers is maintained during prolonged MV and that caspase-3-mediated myonuclear apoptosis contributes to this process is supported.

TL;DR: It is concluded that exercise-induced myocardial protection against a moderate duration I/R insult is not dependent on increases in myocardIAL HSPs, and it is postulate thatercise-associated cardioprotection may depend, in part, on rises in my cardiac antioxidant defenses.

TL;DR: Observations suggest strongly that heating and passive stretch of muscle may be useful as a means of increasing muscle mass, not only in athletes but also in patients during rehabilitation.
