Influences of Desmin and Keratin 19 on Passive Biomechanical Properties of Mouse Skeletal Muscle
Figure 3
Relationships between global fiber strain and local membrane and sarcomere strain. Raw data (a, c) and regression coefficients (b, d) for (a-b) fiber strain-sarcomere strain; (c-d) membrane strain-sarcomere strain for fibers from 10-month-old wild-type (blue), desmin-null (red), K19-null (orange), and double-null (green) animals ( fibers/genotype). Different symbols within a color group represent data from individual experiments. Displayed regression lines in (a) and (c) represent averaged coefficients for individual experiments reported in (b) and (d).
