Figure 7. Tetani and twitches recorded in a single intact FDB muscle fiber from an aged (20 mo) FVB mouse.
Baseline represents a tetanic trace elicited with a 300-ms train of pulses at 100 Hz superimposed over a single twitch response in physiological solution. Tetanic #74-Tetanic #77 represent responses to 300-ms trains of pulses at 100 Hz while in Ca2+-free solution. The Recovery trace is a tetanic response to a 300-ms train of pulses at 100 Hz in physiological solution 10 min after the end of the experiment. These traces are representative of 10 fibers from 8 mice.
