Figure 3


Fig. 3. Relative changes in AP (A) and Pi (B) content and absolute changes in ATP (C) and AP+Pi+ATP (D) content in small (open symbols) and large (filled symbols) dark levator fibers during a contraction-recovery cycle. In A and B, values at each time point have been normalized to the mean immediately after contraction to allow direct comparison of the recovery rate between the size classes (absolute resting values are in Table 3). Note how quickly AP and Pi levels are restored in the small fibers compared to the large fibers during recovery, as well as the relative stability in ATP and total high-energy phosphate content during contraction and recovery in both size classes. The arrow indicates when burst contractile exercise was stimulated; the asterisk indicates that values are significantly different from the resting value; and the dagger indicates that AP levels in each size class were significantly different from each other at the common 15 min recovery time point. N≥7 for every point.
