It is interesting that the twitch contraction after a brief tetanic contraction at 22°C in our experiments demonstrated potentiation when the response was measured at short sarcomere lengths, and depression when the response was measured at long sarcomere lengths.
In 1768, Luigi Galvani ran electric current through the legs of a freshly killed frog making them twitch and no doubt contributing to the bad feelings most frogs have about their place in the sciences.
We would appear to be studying a greater range of lengths, but the range of twitch amplitudes is much less.
Experiments conducted at 37°C have demonstrated that the magnitude of staircase potentiation is proportional to muscle length with a negative slope [ 6 7 8 9 ] . This is the case, whether the staircase is conducted at the different lengths, or the poststaircase twitch contractions are evaluated at different lengths after staircase at a given length [ 6 10 ] . Length-dependence of posttetanic potentiation has been evaluated in vitro at room temperature, and it has been reported that there is a length-dependence of potentiation, with the fractional enhancement of force being proportional to muscle length with a positive slope [ 11 ] .
In Figure 4A, the length associated with maximal twitch amplitude is shifted to the left in the posttetanic contractions.
