Figure 9

Duration of work-loop twitches as functions of relative afterload. (A) Total duration of work-loop twitch stress, quantified at 5% (upper lines) and 50% (lower lines) of afterload, for a representative trabecula from the Control group (open symbols) and from the STZ group (filled symbols). (B) Average relations for the Control (thin lines) and STZ (thick lines) trabeculae. No difference between average slopes of regression lines at either t5 of t5o but their elevations higher in the STZ group.
