Figure 6

Effect of cMyBP-C on length-dependent changes in the magnitude of sudden-stretch induced increase in muscle fiber stiffness (P1). P1 was calculated from the force responses elicited upon a sudden 2% stretch in muscle length imposed on isometrically-contracting ventricular preparations (Stelzer et al., 2006c). Two-Way ANOVA revealed no significant interaction effect and main effects on P1. Post-hoc tests showed that P1 significantly decreased at short SL vs. long SL in WT group but such a trend was absent in KO group. Also, P1 significantly decreased at long SL in KO vs. WT group. Determinations were made from 6 to 13 multicellular preparations and 3 to 4 hearts per each group. Values are reported as mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05.
