For mammalian muscle the classic is cat soleus by Joyce, Rack and
Westbury 1969 J Physiol.
For rabbit, I would check with Rick Lieber at San Diego, who has
certainly done eccentric contractions in rabbits.
The general problem of course is that a tension-velocity is not such a
good approximation to real behaviour in mammalian muscle as in single
frog fibres. That is the tension is not so nearly constant for a
constant velocity and vice versa. The explanation of this is likely to
include contributions from the passive elements and their
interdependence (higher passive tension and series compliance, length
of parallel elastic element depends on length of series elastic element
and hence on tension) as well as a mixture of sarcomere lengths within
a whole muscle (some fibres are still less than optimum when the whole
muscle is beyond) and possibly greater dispersion of sarcomere lengths
within fibres.
