Affinity of the CB cycle (J/mol); Thermodynamic force (J/mol/T); Thermodynamic flow (mol/L/s); EPR: Entropy production rate (J/T/L/s); S: Statistical entropy (J/mol/T); E: Internal energy (J/mol)); z: microcanonical partition function (dimensionless); kcat: catalytic constant (s-1); myosin content (nM/L). Values are means ± SD. EDL, Soleus and Trachea were stimulated under tetanic electrical stimulation and Heart under twitch electrical stimulation.
