Excitable fibers were fibers that generated an action potential upon stimulation. No action potential could be recorded at 10 mM K+ and 0.3 mM Ca2+ in HyperKPP fibers. Mean resting EM values are expressed as mean ± SE (number of fibers/number of muscle). There was no significant difference in mean resting EM of excitable fibers between 0.3 and 2.4 mM Ca2. ANOVA, P > 0.05.
