(A) Resting cell length; (B) Peak shortening (PS, normalized to resting cell length); (C) Maximal velocity of cell shortening (+dL/dt); (D) Maximal velocity of cell relengthening (−dL/dt); (E) Time-to-peak shortening (TPS); and (F) Time-to-90% relengthening (TR90). Mean ± SEM, n = 90–101 cells per group, *p < 0.05 vs. WT young group, #p < 0.05 vs. WT old group.
