Ang 1–7 was delivered using an osmotic pump at a rate of 15 mg/kg/d. Tetanic contractions for EDL and soleus were respectively elicited at 200 and 140 Hz. Data are presented as mean ± SE of five or six muscles.

a

Mean value is significantly different from that of innervated muscles (ANOVA and LSD, P < 0.05).

b

Mean value is significantly different from CD-1 muscles (ANOVA and LSD, P < 0.05).
