Values are means ± SE; n = 5. Fractions after sorbitol density gradient centrifugation from control and acutely hypertensive animals were pooled into 3 windows, adjusted to the same protein concentration and then treated with cold 1% Triton X-100 and centrifuged to separate detergent insoluble pellet from detergent soluble supernatant. The pellet was resuspended in same volume as supernatant. A constant amount of supernatant and resuspended pellet was assayed by immunoblot to determine percentage in detergent insoluble fraction. WI, pooled fractions 4–5; WII, pooled fractions 6–7; WIII, pooled fractions 8–10.
P < 0.05 compared with WI;
P < 0.05 compared with WII within the same treatment. There was no myosin VI detected in detergent soluble fraction so no error could be calculated.
