SA magnitude of Drosophila jump muscle fibers
ASA (mN/mm2) | RSA (mN/mm2) | FSA(mN/mm2) | FSA/Fo | n | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control | 3.8 ± 0.4 | 1.2 ± 0.3 | 2.6 ± 0.5 | 0.12 ± 0.02 | 10 |
EMB | 8.8 ± 0.8a | 2.0 ± 0.6 | 6.8 ± 1.0a | 0.20 ± 0.03a | 16 |
Values are mean ± SE; n, number of fibers. ASA total stretch-activated tension measured at pCa 5.0, 8 mM Pi, RSA passive elastic component of stretch-activated tension measured at pCa 8.0, FSA net stretch-activated tension (FSA = ASA-RSA).
P < 0.05, significantly different from control, Student’s t-test.
