Figure 6 Time-dependent changes in contractile state in a pair of papillary muscles from a PAB cat. Upper Panel: Active force. Lower Panel: Shortening velocity. Papillary muscle 1 (open triangles) was exposed to colchicine after mechanical performance had reached an equilibrium at 120 min. Papillary muscle 2 (closed triangles) was not exposed to colchicine.
