Rat EDL fibers relax faster than soleus during K contractures; extends fiber-type EC coupling differences in rats but leaves open cardiac translation.
Rat soleus muscle fibers exhibit slower inactivation of excitation-contraction coupling and require more depolarization for steady-state inactivation compared to extensor digitorum longus fibers.
Chua et al. (1988) studied this question.
