The comparison of calculation similarities between the methods of “bump” and “difference curve” used to characterize Ca²⁺ transient decay during slow force response to sudden stretch (in CONT group only). a The amplitudes of “bump” and the “positive” component of the “difference curve” are plotted against SFR magnitude. b The integral intensities of “bump” and the positive “component” of the “difference curve” are plotted against SFR magnitude. Note use of secondary axis in panels a and b. c Amplitudes of “bump” and “positive” component of the “difference curve” are plotted against each other. d Integral intensities of “bump” and “positive” component of the “difference curve” are plotted against each other. DC, “difference curve”; CaT, Ca²⁺ transient. Mean values are shown. Labels on panels c and d show time interval after stretch which corresponds to the nearest point. Arrows on panel d show the exact position of the point for time intervals labeled “8 min” and “10 min”
