Excitation-Contraction Coupling: The Effect of Calcium Channel Antagonistic Drugs on Reprimed and Inactivated Skinned Skeletal Muscle Fibers

Abstract

dc:description

Contracture of skinned (sarcolemma removed), skeletal muscle fibers can be elicited by sudden changes in the ionic composition of the myoplasm. The bulk of evidence in the literature suggests that such contracture of skinned fibers is triggered by depolarization of resealed transverse tubules. If this hypothesis is true, then such contractures of skinned fibers are analogous to K contractures on intact cells.
