Diaphragm cross-sectional area of the different fiber types. Diaphragm cross-sectional area (CSA) of the type I, IIa and IIx/b fibers in the controls (C, n = 6) and controlled mechanical ventilation animals treated either with saline (CMV, n = 6) or with 5 mg/kg methylprednisolone (MP-5, n = 6) or 30 mg/kg methylprednisolone (MP-30, n = 5). Values are means ± SD. *p < 0.05 vs C and MP-30, #p < 0.05 vs CMV, +p < 0.01 vs C.
