Fig. 3. Model output for small (A,C) and large (B,D) light levator fibers using
parameters in Table 1. The
small fibers were modeled assuming a uniform distribution of mitochondria,
while the large fibers were modeled assuming only subsarcolemmal mitochondria
(Boyle et al., 2003). The
temporally and spatially resolved concentrations of AP and ATP during a
contraction–recovery cycle are shown. The arrows indicate where mild
gradients exist in the large fibers. For AP, the gradients are not obvious due
to the scaling of the concentration axis, but they are of a magnitude similar
to that seen in ATP. ADP, Arginine and Pi are not shown, but the
concentrations change in reciprocal fashion to that of AP.
