Fig. 9.

Soleus muscle tetanic tension at 20 °C and 42 °C. Tetanic tension (P _o) values were obtained at 5-min intervals. No significant differences were observed between groups stimulated at 20 °C and 42 °C at 5 min. At 30 min, statistical differences were observed from the five values for all groups stimulated at 20 °C. Groups stimulated at 42 °C remained unchanged. Error bars denote SEM. A number sign denotes significant difference (p < 0.05) between 5 and 30 min with groups
