- Data presented as means (SD). N, number of rats, isolated myocyte preps;
- CSA, cross-sectional area; values for cell length normalized to 1.90 μm (resting unloaded sarcomere length).
- **, p < 0.01 vs. Sham rats; †, p < 0.05, ‡, p < 0.01 vs. MI rats;
- ANOVA with Student-Newman-Keuls’ Multiple Comparison Test.
