From: Absence of the Z-disc protein α-actinin-3 impairs the mechanical stability of Actn3KO mouse fast-twitch muscle fibres without altering their contractile properties or twitch kinetics

Maximum myofibrillar force in single EDL fibres from Actn3KO mice is unaltered compared to WT. a Statistical analysis of maximum force and specific force (normalised to fibre diameter-derived cross-sectional area) values from EDL muscles of WT and Actn3KO mice. No significant differences based on one-way ANOVA tests were apparent. b Analysis of fibre diameter distributions shows a trend to smaller diameter in the Actn3KO fibres. c Calcium sensitivity shown as pCa-force relationship. Average data are displayed along with the reconstructed average fit
