Comparison of the intracellular calcium events in AIL cells and myocytes

	AIL cells	Myocytes	Statistical significance
Max. (F/F0)	3.19 ± 0.13	2.48 ± 0.05	P < 10−7
FWHM (μm)	15.67 ± 1.22*	2.50 ± 0.07	P < 10−7
FDHM (ms)	2766.3 ± 284.4	50.6 ± 1.6	P < 10−7
n (events)	28	145
n (cells)	5	5
n (animals)	2	4

Max, maximum intensity of a calcium event in relative fluorescence units; FWHM, full width at half maximum; FDHM, full duration at half maximum.

^*The FWHM of calcium events in AIL cells was dependent on cell length.
