Changes of phasic and tonic smooth muscle function of jejunum in type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats

Figure 7 Phasic and tonic stresses as function of strains. The total phasic (A) and tonic stresses (B) as function of strains are presented in the top and the computed active phasic (C) and tonic stresses (D) as function of strain in the bottom. The amplitude of total phasic, total tonic, active phasic and active tonic circumferential stresses did not differ without CA application but significantly increased after CA application in GK group compared those with Normal group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the maximum for the active phasic and active tonic stresses differed (P < 0.01). CA: Carbachol; GK: Goto-Kakizaki.
