Embodiment 1

[0244] A. Test design

[0245] The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate the role of mitochondrial ROS emission in MV-induced diaphragmatic weakness and to demonstrate the effect of a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant peptide (SS-31) on mitochondrial function and rat diaphragm. Two different groups of rats (1 and 2) were treated as follows.

[0246] 1. Conscious and spontaneously breathing rats

[0247] To determine the effect of a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant (SS-31) on diaphragmatic contractile function, fiber cross-sectional area (CSA), and mitochondrial function in conscious, spontaneously breathing rats, animals were treated as follows. Animals (n = 6 / group) were randomly assigned to one of two test groups: (1) control group - injected (intraperitoneal, i.p.) saline every 3 hours for 12 hours; and (2) Mitochondrial antioxidant group - Injection (intraperitoneal, i.p.) of SS-31 every 3 hours for 12 hours. Diaphragmatic contractile function, fibrous CSA, ...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for preventing or treating MV-induced or disuse-induced skeletal muscle infirmities in a mammalian subject. The methods further include administering to the subject an effective amount of an aromatic-cationic peptide.

Description

[0001] governmental support [0002] This invention was made with Government support under Grant R01HL08783 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The US Government has certain rights in this invention. [0003] Cross References to Related Applications [0004] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 61 / 308508, filed February 26, 2010, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0005] Disclosed herein are methods and compositions comprising aromatic-cationic peptides for preventing and treating skeletal muscle weakness (eg, weakness, dysfunction, and / or muscle wasting). In particular, disclosed herein are methods and compositions for the prevention and treatment of mechanical ventilation (MV)-induced diaphragmatic weakness and disuse-induced skeletal muscle weakness.
