چکیده

RENKIN, EUGENE M. Exchangeability of tissue potassium in skeletal muscle. Am. J. Physiol. 1g7(6): I~II-12 15. I g5g.-The quantity of ‘rapidly exchanging’ Kf in isolated, skeletal muscles of dogs was determined by measuring the back-diffusion of K42 during perfusion with blood containing this isotopic tracer. This quantity was not constant, but varied from da/$ to 88y0 of the total tissue K+. The rapidly exchanging fraction increased as arterial pressure and blood flow increased, and was greater in preparations with low vascular tone. It is concluded that the rapidly exchanging Kf represents all tissue K+ in well circulated regions, and the remaining Kf (slowly exchangeable) all tissue K+ in poorly circulated regions. As arterial pressure increases, or vascular tone decreases, the well circulated regions are increased at the expense of the poorly circulated regions due to opening or widening of minute vessels which were originally closed or narrowed.

Nitric Oxide is Necessary for Diazoxide Protection Against Ischemic Injury in Skeletal Muscle

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IR injury) is a common problem in clinical conditions. Researches have frequently revealed that ATP- sensitive potassium (KATP) channels and nitric oxide plays a role in protection against ischemic injury in skeletal muscle. The present study aimed at evaluating the possible link between this two pathways. Sixty-eight male wistar rats, were pretreated with saline, d...

Effects of ionic parameters on behavior of a skeletal muscle fiber model

All living cells have a membrane which separates inside the cell from it's outside. There is a potential difference between inside and outside of the cell. This potential difference will change during an action potential. It is quite common to peruse action potentials of skeletal muscle fibers with the Hodgkin-Huxley model. Since Hodgkin and Huxley summarized some controlling currents like inwa...

Applications of Small Molecules in Muscle Tissue Engineering

Introduction: Skeletal muscles account for about 40% of the total body weight. Every year, hundreds of people lose at least part of their muscle tissue due to illness, war, and accidents. This can lead to disruption of activities such as breathing, movement, and social life. To this end, various therapeutic strategies such as medication therapy, cell therapy and tissue transplantation have been...

The Effect of Resistance Training and Endothelial Stem Cell Injection on Βeta-Actin, Phosphorylated and Total AKT of Skeletal Muscle in Type 1 Diabetic Rats

Background: Type 1 diabetes is associated with decreased skeletal muscle capillary and improper regulation of angiogenesis pathways in skeletal muscle. This research intended to study the effect of resistance training and endothelial stem cell injection on βeta-actin, phosphorylated and total AKT of skeletal muscle in type 1 diabetic rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 36 male Wistar ra...
