Figure 5. The release of ir-sCP from the perfused salmon ventricle from animals acclimated to temperatures of 0.2, 6 and 12 °C.

○, perfusions without mechanical load; •, perfusions in which mechanical load was imposed on the ventricle. The horizontal bar denotes the period during which a mechanical load of 13 cmH₂O was applied. Results (means ±s.e.m., n = 6 for the mechanically loaded ventricles, n = 4 for the control ventricles), which are shown in relative terms, were calculated by dividing the ir-sCP level at each time point by the average ir-sCP level between time points −60 and −5 min.
