No immediate clinical implications in humans; leaves open Pi's strain-dependent effects on muscle force in disease models.
Inorganic phosphate selectively accelerates tension decay after stretch but not tension rise after release in mammalian muscle fibers, indicating that Pi-sensitive force generation is sensitive to positive strain.
Ranatunga et al. (2002) studied this question.
