Table 2.

ton varies with strain in flight muscle fibers from fruit flies

Shortening No Slope Lengthening
ton, ms 0.62 ± 0.01 0.61 ± 0.01 0.60 ± 0.01
Change in ton, % 1.1 ± 0.8 0 −0.9 ± 0.4

Repeated-measures ANOVA indicates significant strain dependency represented by the three conditions (P < 0.05).

Normalized measurements within each fiber to the No Slope value indicate significant differences for the relative change in ton due to lengthening or shortening (P < 0.05).
