Longitudinal Impedance of Skinned Frog Muscle Fibers
Longitudinal impedance of skinned muscle fibers was measured with extracellular electrodes and an oil gap method in which a central longitudinal section of fiber is insulated by oil while the ends of the fiber are bathed in conducting pools of relaxing solution. Intact single fibers were isolated from frog semitendinosus muscle and the sarcolemma removed either by mechanical or chemical methods...
متن کاملCalcium-Activated Tension of Skinned Muscle Fibers of the Frog
The influence of MgATP on the Ga(++)-activated isometric tension of skinned frog muscle fibers was examined in solutions containing: Mg(++) = 5 mM, creatine phosphate (CP) = 14.5 mM, creatinephosphokinase (CPK) = 1 mg/ml, total EGTA = 7 mM, CaCl(2), KCl, imidazole >/= 20 mM so that ionic strength = 0.15, pH = 7.00, and MgATP = 2 mM, 0.1 mM, or 20 microM. CP and CPK were necessary for these expe...
متن کامل"Current" advances in mechanically skinned skeletal muscle fibres.
1. In skeletal muscle, excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling describes a cascade of cellular events initiated by an action potential (AP) at the surface membrane that ultimately results in muscle contraction. Being able to specifically manipulate the many processes that constitute E-C coupling, as well as the many factors that modulate these processes, has proven challenging. 2. One of the simp...
متن کاملNon-crossbridge stiffness in active muscle fibres.
Stretching of an activated skeletal muscle induces a transient tension increase followed by a period during which the tension remains elevated well above the isometric level at an almost constant value. This excess of tension in response to stretching has been called 'static tension' and attributed to an increase in fibre stiffness above the resting value, named 'static stiffness'. This observa...
متن کاملDeterminants of relaxation rate in skinned frog skeletal muscle fibers.
The influences of sarcomere uniformity and Ca2+ concentration on the kinetics of relaxation were examined in skinned frog skeletal muscle fibers induced to relax by rapid sequestration of Ca2+ by the photolysis of the Ca2+ chelator, diazo-2, at 10°C. Compared with an intact fiber, diazo-2-induced relaxation exhibited a faster and shorter initial slow phase and a fast phase with a longer tail. S...
