TnC biosensor transient in intact FDB myofibers at 37 °C. (A) Normalized traces (0–100%) of an ensemble average of biosensor ratio fluorescence (blue) and sarcomere length (black) dynamics. Inset shows same data and serves to highlight the region of the peak amplitude (y-axis represents a 50% change from baseline, x-axis represents 0.05 s). (B) Summary statistics for time to peak for the biosensor ratio and sarcomere length shows timing of the peak activation of the biosensor ratio is not significantly different from the time to peak of the sarcomere length (n = 15 myofibers in each group from n = 7 animals). (C) Summary statistics for the time to 50% of baseline for the biosensor ratio and sarcomere length demonstrate that biosensor inactivation (0.0323 ± 0.0036 s) was delayed relative to the relaxation of the myofiber (0.0193 ± 0.0014 s) (n = 15 myofibers in each group from n = 7 animals). (D) Summary statistics for the time to 75% of baseline for the biosensor fluorescence ratio and sarcomere length showed a significant difference in the relaxation dynamics of the biosensor and sarcomere length, with the biosensor inactivation (0.0530 ± 0.0053 s) slower than the sarcomere length relaxation of the myofiber (0.0274 ± 0.0022 s) (n = 15 myofibers in each group from n = 7 animals). Myofibers measured at 37 °C with 0.2 Hz stimulation. Mean ± S.E.M. are presented, *P < 0.05.
