Bundles of 20-30 fast muscle fibres were isolated from the abdominal myotomes of the short-horned sculpin (Myoxocephalus scorpius L.). The energy cost of contraction was measured during oscillatory work at 4 ~ and 15 ~ following treatment with iodoacetate and nitrogen gas to block glycolysis and aer
Chemically skinned fibres from soleus and plantaris rat muscles were used to compare the contractile properties of slow and fast muscles. The maximal isometric tension appeared larger in plantaris than in soleus fibres. The apparent Ca z + threshold for activation was lower in slow than in fast fibr
