Animal data link vascular smooth muscle energetics to striated muscle; leaves open human translation and clinical relevance.
Isometric contraction of vascular smooth muscle by adrenaline is associated with significant hydrolysis of ATP and CrP, with energy utilization similar to striated muscle.
Beviz et al. (1965) studied this question.
