Does isotonic relaxation differ from isometric relaxation in rat portal vein smooth muscle?
The ability of venous smooth muscle to carry load over a relatively long period during isotonic relaxation may be attributed to the characteristics of instantaneous force-velocity relations in the force range above Po.
Johansson et al. (1975) studied this question.
