Fig. 3. Response of developed isometric force (  A ), the rate of change of isometric force (dF/dt) (  B ), and unloaded shortening velocity (V^U) (  C ) to 0.5 minimum alveolar concentration and 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration sevoflurane and isoflurane in normal (isoflurane =  closed circles , sevoflurane =  closed triangles ) and banded (isoflurane =  open circles , sevoflurane =  open triangles ) animals. *  P < 0.05 compared with preanesthetic condition (n = 9).
