Introduction: Individuals affected with ryanodine receptor isoform-1-related myopathies (RYR1-RM) commonly experience fatigability in the quadriceps, which may limit physical function and potentially diminish quality of life. Fatigability, in RYR1-RM, results from skeletal
We studied whether hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) at =10 microM activates the ryanodine receptor and decreases releasable Ca(2+) content in the sarcoplasmic reticulum after fatigue. Exposure of rabbit or frog skeletal muscle ryanodine receptors to 10 microM H(2)O(2) enhanced channel activity in
Skeletal muscle fatigue has been shown to be associated with hyperphosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor 1 at serine 2843 (pRyR1Ser2843), due to chronic overloading exercise. We investigated whether pRyR1Ser2843, is a mechanism relevant for muscle fatigue also under acute, in contrast to chronic,
A biophysical model of the excitation-contraction pathway, which has previously been validated for slow-twitch and fast-twitch skeletal muscles, is employed to investigate key biophysical processes leading to peripheral muscle fatigue. Special emphasis hereby is on investigating how the model's
In this short review of the literature and our own data the characteristics of structural organization of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-release channels (ryanodine receptors) in different types of muscles, the participation of other sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins in excitation-contraction coupling and
Relaxation of rat diaphragm was shown to be sensitive to load, as previously described for adult mammalian ventricular muscle, because the time course of isotonic relaxation could be changed by changing the load: the lighter the load, the greater the shortening, the quicker the relaxation. Maximum
If the free [Ca2+] in the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber is raised substantially for a period of seconds to minutes or to high levels just briefly, it leads to disruption of the normal excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling process and a consequent long-lasting decrease in force production. It
In this study, we compared muscle fatigue induced by high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE), with a focus on changes in the function of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and myofibril. To achieve the aim of this study, using mechanically skinned fibers
This study investigated the effect of taurine and β-alanine supplementation on muscle function and muscle taurine transporter (TauT) protein expression in mdx mice. Wild-type (WT) and mdx mice (5 months) were supplemented with taurine or β-alanine for 4 weeks, after which in vitro contractile
Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) is a plasma membrane transporter that moves Ca(2+) in or out of the cell, depending on membrane potential and transmembrane ion gradients. NCX is the main pathway for Ca(2+) extrusion from excitable cells. NCX inhibitors can ameliorate cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to explore the functional interdependence of protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation with binding of modulatory FK506 binding proteins (FKBP12/12.6) to the ryanodine receptor (RyR). RyR type 1 or type 2 was prepared from rabbit skeletal muscle or pig cardiac muscle,
New insights into the biochemistry of cardiac arrhythmia and skeletal muscle fatigue have yielded new drug candidates to counteract these phenomena. Major biological targets have become ryanodine receptor (RyR)-based Ca(2+)-release channels, which tend to 'leak' under various circumstances including
Skeletal muscle weakness and decreased exercise capacity are major symptoms reported by patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Intriguingly, these skeletal muscle symptoms do not correlate with the decreased heart function. This suggests that CHF leads to maladaptive changes in skeletal
Individuals working in commercial hog confinement facilities have elevated incidences of headaches, depression, nausea, skeletal muscle weakness, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, and cardiovascular diseases, and the molecular mechanisms for these nonrespiratory ailments remain incompletely
This review attempts to give an insight into the key aspects of excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling and fatigue in skeletal muscle, in particular summarizing the results and perspectives obtained from studies with mechanically skinned muscle fibres. These skinned fibre studies have provided many
