Fig. 1.
Length dependencies of active force (
) and myosin phosphorylation
(
) induced by 0.1 µM (A), 1 µM (B), 10 µM
(C), and 100 µM
(D) carbachol in bovine tracheal
smooth muscle. Active force is expressed as fraction of force
(Fo) induced by
K+ depolarization at optimal
length (Lo) for
each muscle strip. Values are means ± SE
(n = 4). Vertical bars are not shown
when SE are smaller than symbol. Lines represent linear regression fits
to data. LC, light chain.
