Hematoxylin–eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry. A–D HE staining (top) and immunohistochemistry (bottom) of slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers in the diaphragm of one representative rabbit for each group (control, MV). E–H Mean fiber size and cross-sectional area (CSA) of slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers of the diaphragm muscles for the two groups. Groups: Control = control group; MV = mechanical ventilation group. *P < 0.05 with respect to the control group; scale bar = 50 μm. The error bars indicate the standard deviation (SD)
