Fig. 2 (IMAGE) Osaka University Caption Contractile proteins of skeletal and cardiac muscle have different temperature dependence. Although skeletal myosin is less dependent on temperature than cardiac myosin (middle), skeletal thin filaments are more dependent on temperature than cardiac thin filaments (top). Overall, skeletal muscle is more sensitive to heating than the heart (bottom). Credit Shuya Ishii, Kotaro Oyama and Madoka Suzuki Usage Restrictions Credit must be given to the creator.
