All values are expressed as means ± SEM, with the number of trabecular preparations listed in parentheses. ktr, maximal rate of tension redevelopment at pCa 4.5; nH, Hill coefficient for Ca2+-activated tension–pCa relationship; pCa50, pCa required for half-maximal activation; Prest, Ca2+-independent tension at pCa 9.0; Po, maximal Ca2+-activated tension at pCa 4.5; PTot, maximal Ca2+-activated tension (maximal Ca2+-activated tension plus Ca2+-independent tension).
