Fig. 3From: Sex differences in stretch-dependent effects on tension and Ca2+ transient of rat trabeculae in monocrotaline pulmonary hypertensionThe stretch-dependent changes in tension characteristics of RV trabeculae of control and monocrotaline-treated male (left panels) and female rats (right panels). a Amplitude of isometric tension. b Resting tension. c Time-to-peak tension. d Total duration of isometric twitch. Relative length is expressed as a % of L MAX . Y axis scales are identical for males and females. Data presented as mean ± SEM. *Significant difference between CONT-male vs MCT-male at the same relative length (P < 0.05), #significant difference between CONT-female vs MCT-female at the same relative length (P < 0.05)Back to article page
