Abstract: Prolonged mechanical ventilation results in diaphragmatic oxida-tive injury, elevated proteolysis, fiber atrophy, and reduced force-generating capacity. We tested the hypothesis that antioxidant infusion during mechanical ventilation would function as an antioxi-dant to maintain redox balance within diaphragm muscle fibers and therefore prevent oxidative stress and subsequent proteolysis and contractile dysfunction. Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthe-tized, tracheostomized, and mechanically ventilated with 21% O2 for 12 hours. The antioxidant Trolox was intravenously infused in a subset of ventilated animals. Compared with acutely anesthetized, nonventilated control animals, mechanical ventilation resulted in a significant reduction (–17%) in diaphragmatic maximal tetanic force. Importantly, Trolox completely attenuated this mechanical ventilation-induced diaphragmatic contractile deficit. Total dia-phragmatic proteolysis was increased 105% in mechanical ventila-tion animals compared with controls. In contrast, diaphragmatic proteolysis did not differ between controls and mechanical ventila-tion–Trolox animals. Moreover, 20S proteasome activity in the dia-phragm was elevated in the mechanical ventilation animals (+76%); Trolox treatment attenuated this mechanical ventilation-induced rise in protease activity. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that mechanical ventilation-induced oxidative stress is an important factor regulating mechanical ventilation-induced diaphragmatic proteolysis and contractile dysfunction. Our findings suggest that antioxidant therapy could be beneficial during pro-longed mechanical ventilation
