The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Beat‐locked mitochondrial ATP transients reveal modular, sex‐specific bioenergetic control during excitation–contraction coupling. A, each action potential activates L‐type CaV1.2 channels, producing a Ca2+ influx that triggers ryanodine receptors (RyR2) and elicits SR Ca2+ release.
