Hypoxia and hypercapnia elicit overlapping but distinct skeletal muscle toxicities

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Hypoxia and hypercapnia cause overlapping skeletal muscle phenotypes, including atrophy, change in myofibre metabolic profile and myogenic response to injury. Both signals operate via distinct cellular pathways. Abstract Skeletal muscle dysfunction is strongly associated with elevated mortality in acute and chronic pulmonary ...
