The effect of chronic intra-abdominal hypertension on rectus abdominis muscle: experimental study on rabbits

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to specify in rabbits the histological, immunohistological and biochemical response of the rectus abdominis muscle, to the chronically increased intraabdominal pressure. Material - Method: Forty-five New Zealand white rabbits were divided into three groups. Group A consisted of 15 rabbits to which empty rubber tubes were implanted in the peritoneal cavity. Group B consisted of 15 rabbits to which intaabdominal pressure was persistently maintained above 16 cmH₂O for 8 weeks by insufflating normal saline into a rubber tube implanted into the peritoneal cavity. Group C consisted of 15 rabbits to which the intraabdominal rubber tube was filled with lead covered by silicone and equiponderant to the mean weight of normal saline insufflated in group B. All animals were sacrificed 8 weeks later. Morphological and histological studies were carried out in specimens from the rectus abdominis muscle, as well as enzymatic studies after staining with mATPase i ...
