Figure 4

Rates of rise and fall of isometric twitch stress, and stress-time integral, as functions of active stress, at 3 Hz stimulation. Maximal rate of rise (upper lines) and rate of fall (lower lines) (A), and stress-time integral (STI) (C), as functions of active stress for a representative trabecula from the Control group (open symbols) and from the STZ group (filled symbols). Average relations (B and D) for the Control (thin lines) and the STZ (thick lines) trabeculae. The slopes of the relations shown in B and in D are significantly different between the Control and the STZ groups.
