Supports four-state cross-bridge model in smooth muscle; leaves open relevance to human vascular energetics or disease.
In swine carotid smooth muscle, ATP consumption increases linearly with myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation, supporting a four-state cross-bridge model.
Wingard et al. (1994) studied this question.
