Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. n = 4 hearts with three preparations per heart, analyzed by one-way repeated measures ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Fmin, Ca2+-independent force analyzed at pCa9.0; Fmax, Ca2+-activated maximal force measured at pCa 4.5; nH, Hill coefficient of the force–pCa relationship; pCa50, pCa required for the generation of half-maximal force; krel, rate of cross-bridge detachment; kdf, rate of cross-bridge recruitment.

a

Significantly different compared to FL.
