Test of the viability of EDL muscles after electrical stimulation

	Initial	4 s	20 s	60 s
A	271 ± 11	249 ± 14	180 ± 20	121 ± 7
B	255 ± 10*	231 ± 13*	155 ± 10*	106 ± 7*
C	266 ± 8	231 ± 5	171 ± 13	108 ± 6

Shown are muscle tensions in mN during a 60 s electrical stimulation. A, stimulation after 1 h preincubation. B, stimulation of same muscle after 1 h recovery. C, stimulation of contralateral muscle after 2 h preincubation. Data are mean ± s.e.m.

^*Different from A at corresponding time, P < 0.05.
