Temporal Adaptive Changes in Contractility and Fatigability of Diaphragm Muscles from Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rats
Figure 3
Diabetes alters the essential contractile properties in Triton-skinned muscle fibers. All data are presented as the mean ± SD. Force-versus-pCa relationships for all conditions are shown. The open circle symbol shows the average control force-versus-pCa curve, closed circles show 3-4 days diabetic, closed squares 4 weeks diabetic, closed diamonds 8 weeks diabetic, closed triangles 14 weeks diabetic, and open triangles the insulin-treated muscle fibers. , number of experiments and statistical details are presented in Table 1 and methods.
