3. Figure 2
Average breathing pattern of patients and control subjects. Ascendant limb is the ratio of Vt to Ti. Descendant limb is the ratio of expiratory Vt to Te. Ti + Te = Ttot; 1/Ttot × 60 = Rf. Dashed line represents control subjects; continuous line, diabetic patients.

6. Figure 5
Plot of swings in Pes vs swings in Pg during progressive hypoxia in patients. Open symbols represent values at end expiration; closed symbols, values at end inspiration. Circles indicate 95% Sao2; squares, 80%; triangles, 72%. At 95% Sao2, the increase in inspiratory Pes was associated with an increase in Pg such that the line joining the end-expiratory point to the end-inspiratory point had a positive slope representing the combined action of the diaphragm and the rib cage inspiratory muscles. During progressive hypoxic stimulation, the end-expiratory point shifted to a greater Pg, indicating expiratory muscle recruitment.
