Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of glutathione (GSH) depletion and cellular oxidation on rat diaphragm contractility and sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) function in vitro under basal conditions and following fatiguing stimulation. Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) treatment (n = 10) for 10 days (20 mM in drinking water) reduced (P < 0.05) diaphragm GSH content (nmol/mg protein) and the ratio of GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) by 91% and 71%, respectively, compared with controls (CTL) (n = 10). Western blotting showed that Hsp70 expression in diaphragm was not increased (P > 0.05) with BSO treatment. As hypothesized, basal peak twitch force (g/mm(2)) was increased (P < 0.05), and fatigability in response to repetitive stimulation (350-ms trains at 100 Hz once every 1 s for 5 min) was also increased (P < 0.05) in BSO compared with CTL. Both Ca(2+) uptake and maximal SERCA activity (mumol.g protein(-1).min(-1)) measured in diaphragm homogenates that were prepared at rest were increased (P < 0.05) with BSO treatment, an effect that could be partly explained by a twofold increase (P < 0.05) in SERCA2a expression with BSO. In response to the 5-min stimulation protocol, both Ca(2+) uptake and maximal SERCA activity were increased (P < 0.05) in CTL but not (P > 0.05) in BSO diaphragm. We conclude that 1) cellular redox state is more optimal for contractile function and fatigability is increased in rat diaphragm following BSO treatment, 2) SERCA2a expression is modulated by redox signaling, and 3) regulation of SERCA function in working diaphragm is altered following BSO treatment.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
