Fig. 1. TensionpCa relationships of SOL (soleus) and PL (plantaris) fibers
in control (CONT) rats and rats conceived, born and reared in hypergravity
(CBR). (A) CONT and CBR TpCa curves of slow SOL fibers (Ai) and fast PL
fibers (Aii). (Bi,ii) Parametric values derived from TpCa curves of the
fibers analyzed in A. pCathr, threshold for Ca2+
activation; pCa50, pCa at which tension is half maximum;
nH, Hill coefficient. Values are means ±
S.E.M. Curves were fitted according to the Hill equation.
*Significantly different from CONT (P<0.05).
