Depletion of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum during calcium release in frog skeletal muscle.

Abstract: SUMMARY1. Free intracellular calcium transients (A[Ca2+] were monitored in cut segments of frog skeletal muscle fibres voltage clamped in a double Vaseline-gap chamber and stretched to sarcomere lengths that eliminated fibre movement. The measured calcium transients were used to calculate the rate of calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (s.r.) as previously described (Melzer, Rios & Schneider, 1984, 1987.2. Conditioning pulses were found to suppress the rate of calcium release in test pulses applie… Show more

“…The average delay was somewhat briefer than in sparks, perhaps because the action potential synchronizes not just the beginning but also the termination of sparks (17). Unlike skraps, cell-wide depletion did not visibly recover by 600 ms, which agrees with refilling times estimated by global photometry (18). The faster recovery of single skraps suggests that local depletion is replenished by diffusion from neighboring SR regions.…”

“…In our hands, one stimulation per minute is considered as optimal. Results of experiments by Schneider et al (1987) suggested that the SR could be depleted of Ca 2+ after a conditioning TEST pulse when [EGTA] in the internal solution was only 0.1 mM. Garcia et al (1989) also observed a substantial depletion of Ca 2+ in the SR by repetitive stimulation at 0.03 Hz when [EGTA] in the internal solution was 1 mM.…”

“…Such changes in [Ca]; may be too small to fully explain the frequency-dependent depression of AH by Ca induced inactivation of Ca release channels. Furthermore, the recovery from the inactiva tion of Ca release channels is more rapid (within 1 sec) than refilling depleted SR (over 10 sec) in the skeletal muscle (20,21). We, however, can not rule out the possible in activation processes of intracellular Ca release during repetitive stimulation.…”
