Western blot analysis of calpastatin. Upper panel: A representative western blot for calpastatin and α-tubulin in the diaphragm of controls (C, n = 6) and controlled mechanical ventilation with saline injection (CMV, n = 8) or with 5 mg/kg methylprednisolone (MP-5, n = 7) or 30 mg/kg methylprednsiolone (MP-30, n = 5). Lower panel: Densitometric values for calpastatin corrected for α-tubulin. Values are means ± SD, *p < 0.05 vs others.
