Active state of muscle in iodoacetate rigor*... These results demonstrate that rigor mechanical responses result from interaction of a passive, undamped series elastic component, and a contractile component with active state properties like those of normal contraction....
Active state in the smooth muscle of the rat portal vein in relation to electrical activity and isometric force. circ res 32: 246–258Contractile activity in smooth muscle is usually too variable to permit a meaningful analysis of the time course of the active state....
The effects of temperature upon contraction and ionic exchange in rabbit ventricular myocardium : relation to control of active state... Abrupt changes in temperature provided a means of separating the contributions of rate of development (intensity) of active state and duration of active state to total active tension development (approximated by isometric tension)....
The effect of shortening on the time-course of active state decayABSTRACT The active state describes the force developed in a muscle when the contractile elements are neither lengthening nor shortening....
