Five healthy males performed four 30-s bouts of maximal isokinetic cycling with 4 min rest between each bout. Arterial and femoral venous blood was sampled during and for 90 min following exercise. During exercise, arterial erythrocyte [K+] increased from 117.0 +/- 6.6 mequiv./L at rest to 124.2 +/- 5.9 mequiv./L after the second exercise bout. Arterial erythrocyte [K+] returned to the resting values during the first 5 min of recovery. No significant change was observed in femoral venous erythrocyte [K+]. Arterial erythrocyte lactate concentration ([Lac-]) increased during exercise from 0.2 +/- 0.1 mequiv./L peaking at 9.5 +/- 1.5 mequiv./L at 5 min of recovery, after which the values returned to control. Femoral venous erythrocyte [Lac-] changed in a similar fashion. Arterial erythrocyte [Cl-] rose during exercise to 76 +/- 3 mequiv./L and returned to resting values (70 +/- 2 mequiv./L) by 25 min recovery. During exercise there was a net flux of Cl- into the erythrocyte. We conclude that erythrocytes are a sink for K+ ions leaving working muscles. Furthermore, erythrocytes function to transport Lac- from working muscle and reduce plasma acidosis by uptake of Cl-. The erythrocyte uptake of K+, Lac-, and Cl- helps to maintain a concentration difference between plasma and muscle, facilitating diffusion of Lac- and K+ from the interstitial space into femoral venous plasma.  相似文献

We hypothesized that part of the newborn tolerance of asphyxia involves strong ion changes that minimize the cerebral acidosis and hasten its correction in recovery. After exposure of newborn puppies to 15 or 30 min experimental asphyxia (inhalation of gas with fractional concentration of CO2 and of O2 in inspired gas = 0.07-0.08 and 0.02-0.03, respectively), blood lactate increased to 13.2 and 23.4 mmol/l, respectively, brain tissue lactate increased to 14.4 and 19.7 mmol/kg, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate increased to 7.6 and 14.4 mmol/l. We presume that the tissue lactate increase reflects increases in brain cell and extracellular fluid lactate concentration. The lactate increase, a change that will decrease the strong ion difference (SID), [HCO3-], and pH, was accompanied by increases in Na+ (plasma, CSF, brain), K+ (plasma, CSF), and osmolality without change in Cl-. After 60-min recovery, plasma and brain lactate decreased significantly, but CSF lactate remained unchanged. [H+] recovery was more complete than that of the strong ions due to hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia. We conclude that during asphyxia-induced lactic acidosis, changes in strong ions occur that lessen the decrease in SID and minimize the acidosis in plasma and CSF. To the extent that the increase in brain tissue sodium reflects increases in intra-and extracellular fluid sodium concentration, the decrease in SID will be less in these compartments as well. In recovery, CSF ionic values change little; plasma and brain tissue lactate decrease with a similar time course, and the [H+] is rapidly returned toward normal by hypocapnia even while the SID is below normal.  相似文献

To determine the factors responsible for changes in [H+] during and after sprint exercise in the racing greyhound, Stewart's quantitative acid-base analysis was applied to arterial blood plasma samples taken at rest, at 8-s intervals during exercise, and at various intervals up to 30 min after a 402-m spring (approximately 30 s) on the track. [Na+], [K+], [Cl-], [total Ca], [lactate], [albumin], [Pi], PCO2, and pH were measured, and the [H+] was calculated from Stewart's equations. This short sprint caused all measured variables to change significantly. Maximal changes were strong ion difference decreased from 36.7 meq/l at rest to 16.1 meq/l; [albumin] increased from 3.1 g/dl at rest to 3.7 g/dl; PCO2, after decreasing from 39.6 Torr at rest to 27.9 Torr immediately prerace, increased during exercise to 42.8 Torr and then again decreased to near 20 Torr during most of recovery; and [H+] rose from 36.6 neq/l at rest to a peak of 76.6 neq/l. The [H+] calculated using Stewart's analysis was not significantly different from that directly measured. In addition to the increase in lactate and the change in PCO2, changes in [albumin], [Na+], and [Cl-] also influenced [H+] during and after sprint exercise in the running greyhound.  相似文献

Red cell concentrations of hemoglobin (MCHC), H+, Na+, K+, Mg++, cl- were measured in femoral venous blood of six untrained (UT), six endurance trained (TR) and three semitrained (ST) subjects during graded increasing work (4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 mkp/s, 10-15 min on each step) on a bicycle ergometer. Before exercise no significant differences were detected for the measured variables when comparing UT and TR. During exercise MCHC, [Na+], [K+] and [Mg++] remained constant indicating lack of water shift into the erythrocytes in spite of a marked acidosis (lowest pH Blood value 7.225). This lack resulted from an elevated extracellular osmolality. [H+]Ery and [Cl-]Ery maximally increased by 2.0 X 10(-8) eq/kg H2O and 10 meq/l, respectively. The change was markedly greater in UT than in TR at equal load. However, if [H+] Ery and [Cl-] Ery were related to pH of whole blood, differences between groups, almost disappeared and the ions were distributed as predictable from in vitro experiments (Fitzsimmons and Sendroy, 1961). Behaviour of H+ and Cl- may be of importance for oxygen dissociation under in vivo conditions.  相似文献

Protons as substitutes for sodium and potassium in the sodium pump reaction   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
The role of protons as substitutes for Na+ and/or K+ in the sodium pump reaction was examined using inside-out membrane vesicles derived from human red cells. Na+-like effects of protons suggested previously (Blostein, R. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 829-833) were substantiated by the following observations: (i) in the absence of extravesicular (cytoplasmic) Na+, an increase in cytoplasmic [H+] increased both strophanthidin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis (nu) and the steady-state level of phosphoenzyme, EP, and (ii) as [H+] is increased, the Na+/ATP coupling ratio is decreased. K+-like effects of protons were evidenced in the following results: (i) an increase in nu, decrease in EP, and hence increase in EP turnover (nu/EP) occur when intravesicular (extracellular) [H+] is increased; (ii) an increase in the rate of Na+ influx into K+(Rb+)-free inside-out vesicles and (iii) a decrease in Rb+/ATP coupling occur when [H+] is increased. Direct evidence for H+ being translocated in place of cytoplasmic Na+ and extracellular K+ was obtained by monitoring pH changes using fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran-filled vesicles derived from 4',4-diisothiocyano-2',2-stilbene disulfonate-treated cells. With the initial pHi = pHo = pH 6.2, a strophanthidin-sensitive decrease in pHi was observed following addition of ATP provided the vesicles contained K+. This pH gradient was abolished following addition of Na+. With alkali cation-free inside-out vesicles, a strophanthidin-sensitive increase in pH was observed upon addition of both ATP and Na+. The foregoing changes in pHi were not affected by the addition of tetrabutylammonium to dissipate any membrane potential and were not observed at pH 6.8. These ATP-dependent cardiac glycoside-sensitive proton movements indicate Na,K-ATPase mediated Na+/H+ exchange in the absence of extracellular K+ as well as H+/K+ exchange in the absence of cytoplasmic Na+.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to compare the relationship of ventilation (VE) with pH, arterial concentrations of potassium [( K+]a), bicarbonate [( HCO3-]a), lactate [( la]a), and acid-base parameters which would affect hyperpnoea during exercise and recovery. To assess this relationship, ten healthy male subjects exercised with intensity increasing as a ramp function of 20 W.min-1 until voluntary exhaustion and they were then allowed a 5-min recovery period. Breath-by-breath gas exchange data, [HCO3-]a, pH, [la]a, [K+]a and blood gases were determined during both exercise and recovery. Using a linear regression method, the VE/[K+]a relationship was analysed during both exercise and recovery. Several interesting results were obtained: a significant relationship between [K+]a and VE was observed during recovery as well as during exercise; the VE at any given values of [K+]a was significantly higher during recovery than during exercise and out of those factors affecting exercise hyperpnoea, only [K+]a had a similar time-course to VE during recovery. Changes in [K+]a during recovery were shown to occur significantly faster than VE with an [K+]a time constant of 70.0 s, SD 16.2 as opposed to 105.5 s, SD 10.0 for VE (P less than 0.01). These results provided further evidence that [K+]a might play an important role as a substance which can stimulate exercise hyperpnoea as has been suggested by other workers. The present study also showed that during recovery [K+]a contributed significantly to the control of VE.  相似文献

Six healthy men performed sustained static handgrip exercise for 2 min at 40% maximal voluntary contraction followed by a 6-min recovery period. Heart rate (fc), arterial blood pressures, and forearm blood flow were measured during rest, exercise, and recovery. Potassium ([K+]) and lactate concentrations in blood from a deep forearm vein were analysed at rest and during recovery. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and fc declined immediately after exercise and had returned to control levels about 2 min into recovery. The time course of the changes in MAP observed during recovery closely paralleled the changes in [K+] (r = 0.800, P < 0.01), whereas the lactate concentration remained elevated throughout the recovery period. The close relationship between MAP and [K+] was also confirmed by experiments in which a 3-min arterial occlusion period was applied during recovery to the exercised arm by an upper arm cuff. The arterial occlusion affected MAP while fc recovered at almost the same rate as in the control experiment. Muscle biopsies were taken from the brachioradialis muscle and analysed for fibre composition and capillary supply. The MAP at the end of static contraction and the [K+] appearing in the effluent blood immediately after contraction were positively correlated to the relative content of fast twitch (% FT) fibres (r = 0.886 for MAP vs % FT fibres, P < 0.05 and r = 0.878 for [K+] vs % FT fibres, P < 0.05). Capillary to fibre ratio showed an inverse correlation to % FT fibres (r = -0.979, P < 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Effects of sprint training on plasma K+ concentration ([K+]) regulation during intense exercise and on muscle Na+-K+-ATPase were investigated in subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) under real-life conditions and in nondiabetic subjects (CON). Eight subjects with T1D and seven CON undertook 7 wk of sprint cycling training. Before training, subjects cycled to exhaustion at 130% peak O2 uptake. After training, identical work was performed. Arterialized venous blood was drawn at rest, during exercise, and at recovery and analyzed for plasma glucose, [K+], Na+ concentration ([Na+]), catecholamines, insulin, and glucagon. A vastus lateralis biopsy was obtained before and after training and assayed for Na+-K+-ATPase content ([3H]ouabain binding). Pretraining, Na+-K+-ATPase content and the rise in plasma [K+] ([K+]) during maximal exercise were similar in T1D and CON. However, after 60 min of recovery in T1D, plasma [K+], glucose, and glucagon/insulin were higher and plasma [Na+] was lower than in CON. Training increased Na+-K+-ATPase content and reduced [K+] in both groups (P < 0.05). These variables were correlated in CON (r = -0.65, P < 0.05) but not in T1D. This study showed first that mildly hypoinsulinemic subjects with T1D can safely undertake intense exercise with respect to K+ regulation; however, elevated [K+] will ensue in recovery unless insulin is administered. Second, sprint training improved K+ regulation during intense exercise in both T1D and CON groups; however, the lack of correlation between plasma delta[K+] and Na+-K+-ATPase content in T1D may indicate different relative contributions of K+-regulatory mechanisms.  相似文献

Reperfusion following prolonged ischemia induces cellular damage in whole skeletal muscle models. Ischemic preconditioning attenuates the deleterious effects. We tested whether individual skeletal muscle fibers would be similarly affected by severe hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) in the absence of extracellular factors and whether cellular damage could be alleviated by hypoxic preconditioning. Force and free cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) were monitored in Xenopus single muscle fibers (n = 24) contracting tetanically at 0.2 Hz during 5 min of severe hypoxia and 5 min of reoxygenation. Twelve cells were preconditioned by a shorter bout of H/R 1 h before the experimental trial. In preconditioned cells, force relative to initial maximal values (P/P(o)) and relative peak [Ca2+]c fell (P < 0.05) during 5 min of hypoxia and recovered during reoxygenation. In contrast, P/P(o) and relative peak [Ca2+]c fell more during hypoxia (P < 0.05) and recovered less during reoxygenation (P < 0.05) in control cells. The ratio of force to [Ca2+]c was significantly higher in the preconditioned cells during severe hypoxia, suggesting that changes in [Ca2+]c were not solely responsible for the loss in force. We conclude that 1) isolated skeletal muscle fibers contracting in the absence of extracellular factors are susceptible to H/R injury associated with changes in Ca2+ handling; and 2) hypoxic preconditioning improves contractility, Ca2+ handling, and cell recovery during subsequent hypoxic insult.  相似文献

Levels of cyclic nucleotides and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity were examined following the application of various kinds of stimuli to superior cervical sympathetic ganglia (SCG), nodose ganglia, and vagus nerve fibers excised from the rat. The level of cyclic GMP in the SCG rose rapidly to about 4.5- to 7.5-fold the unstimulated control with 10 min of incubation after applications of preganglionic electrical stimulation (10 Hz), acetylcholine (ACh; 1 mM), or high extracellular K+ ( [K+]0, 70 mM). The cyclic GMP level in nodose ganglia was increased less than in the SCG by either ACh or high [K+]0 but was not affected by ACh in vagus fibers. Cyclic AMP in the SCG was also increased about 4- to 5.5-fold over the control within 10 min with the addition of ACh, norepinephrine (NE; 0.05 mM), or high [K+]0. Although NE caused a small increase in cyclic AMP, neither ACh nor high [K+]0 produced any appreciable change in nodose ganglia or vagus fibers. The ODC activity in the SCG was increased by preganglionic stimulation of 3- to 4-hr duration but not by a shorter period. A similar change in ODC activity was caused by the addition of oxotremorine (1 mM), isoproterenol (0.1 mM), NE, cyclic AMP (1 mM), or dibutyryl cyclic GMP (1 mM). The effect was exaggerated by the further addition of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. The increase in ODC activity caused by ACh was abolished by a muscarinic cholinergic antagonist, atropine (0.01 mM), and following axotomy for a week, but not by a nicotinic antagonist or by denervation in the SCG. A similar increase in ganglionic ODC activity by NE was inhibited by an adrenergic blocker, propranolol (0.01 mM), and following axtotomy for a week, but not by denervation. Cholinergic or adrenergic stimulation did not cause an increase in ODC activity in nodose ganglia or vagus fibers. These results suggest that the stimulation-induced increase in ODC activity occurs in postganglionic neurons rather than in satellite glial cells and is mediated by muscarinic cholinergic or adrenergic receptors. The process appears to involve cyclic nucleotide-mediated protein biosynthesis in the SCG.  相似文献

To determine the origins of the arteriovenous [H+] difference of muscle during contractions, arterial and muscle venous blood sample pairs were taken before and after 0.5, 5.0, and 30.0 min of 4/s isometric twitches of the gastrocnemius-plantaris muscle group of anesthetized dogs. These samples were analyzed for PO2, PCO2, and pH, the concentrations of O2, CO2, K+, Na+, La-, and Cl- in whole blood, and La-, K+, Na+, and Cl- in plasma. Whole blood was hemolyzed and analyzed for PO2, PCO2, and pH. Net O2 uptake, CO2 output, L, K+, Na+, and Cl- were calculated in addition to net output of non-CO2 acid (HA) and strong ion difference ([SID]) and common ion [SID] ([K+] + [Na+] - [Cl-] - [La-]). From these data we partitioned the origins of the arteriovenous [H+] difference via the common PCO2-pH diagram and via a [H+]-PCO2 diagram and determined whether true plasma arteriovenous [H+] differences reflect plasma and cell arteriovenous [H+] differences. The arteriovenous [H+] differences of plasma and hemolyzed blood were the same, showing that true plasma does reflect plasma and cells. K+ showed a small significant but transient output. Na+ was not significant, whereas Cl- showed a significant transient uptake. Lactate output and HA, calculated for dog blood acid-base, showed transient outputs and were the same. At 5.0 min when the arteriovenous difference was largest, CO2 alone would have increased [H+] 15.9 nmol/l whereas desaturation of Hb would have decreased [H+] 4.2 nmol/l and lactate could have raised [H+] 1.0 nmol/l.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Six subjects rode a bicycle ergometer on three occasions breathing 17, 21, or 60% oxygen. In addition to rest and recovery periods, each subject worked for 10 min at 55% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and then to exhaustion at approximately 90% VO2 max. Performance time, inspired and expired gas fractions, ventilation, and arterialized venous oxygen tension (PO2), carbon dioxide tension (PCO2), lactate, and pH were measured. VO2, carbon dioxide output, [H+]a, and [HCO3-]a were calculated. Performance times were longer in hyperoxia than in normoxia or hypoxia. However, VO2 was not different at exhaustion in normoxia compared with hypoxia or hyperoxia. During exercise, hypoxia was associated with increased lactate levels and decreased [H+]a, PCO2, and [HCO3-]a. The opposite trends were generally associated with hyperoxia. At exhaustion, [H+]a was not different under any inspired oxygen fraction. These results support the contention that oxygen is not limiting for exercise of this intensity and duration. The results also suggest that [H+] is a possible limiting factor and that the effect of oxygen on performance is perhaps related to control of [H+].  相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that increased Ca2+ uptake in rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle elicits cell membrane damage as assessed from release of the intracellular enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). This was done by using 1) electrostimulation, 2) electroporation, and 3) the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. Stimulation at 1 Hz for 120-240 min caused an increase in 45Ca uptake that was closely correlated to LDH release. This LDH release increased markedly with temperature. After 120 min of stimulation at 1 Hz, resting 45Ca uptake was increased 5.6-fold compared with unstimulated muscles. This was associated with an eightfold increase in LDH release, and this effect was halved by lowering extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o). The poststimulatory increase in resting 45Ca uptake persisted for at least 120 min. An acute increase in sarcolemma leakiness induced by electroporation markedly increased 45Ca uptake and LDH leakage. Both effects depended on [Ca2+]o. A23187 increased 45Ca uptake. Concomitantly, LDH leakage increased 18-fold within 30 min, and this effect was abolished by omitting Ca2+ from the buffer. We conclude that increased Ca2+ influx may be an important cause of cell membrane damage that arises during and after exercise or electrical shocks. Because membrane damage allows further influx of Ca2+, this results in positive feedback that may further increase membrane degeneration.  相似文献

The regulation of [Ca2+]i in rat pinealocytes was studied using the fluorescent indicator quin2. Pinealocyte resting [Ca2+]i was approximately 100 nM; this rapidly decreased in low Ca2+ medium (approximately 10 microM), indicating there was a high turnover of [Ca2+]i in these cells. Norepinephrine (NE, 10(-6) M) increased [Ca2+]i to approximately 350 nM within 1 min; [Ca2+]i then remained elevated for 30 min. The relative potency of adrenergic agonists was NE greater than phenylephrine much greater than isoproterenol. Phentolamine (10(-6) M) and prazosin (10(-8) M) blocked the effects of adrenergic agonists; in contrast, propranolol (10(-6) M) or yohimbine (10(-6) M) had little or no effect. These observations indicate NE acts via alpha 1-adrenoceptors to elevate [Ca2+]i. The [Ca2+]i response to NE did not occur when [Ca2+]e was reduced to approximately 10 microM by adding EGTA 5s before NE, indicating an increase in net Ca2+ influx is involved rather than mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. The effect of NE was not blocked by nifedipine (10(-6) M), which did block a K+-induced increase in [Ca2+]i, presumably involving voltage-sensitive channels. Ouabain (10(-5) M) caused a gradual increase in [Ca2+]i; this increase was not blocked by nifedipine. Together these data indicate that pinealocyte [Ca2+]i may be influenced by mechanisms regulated by alpha 1-adrenoceptors, voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, and perhaps a Na+/Ca2+ exchange mechanism stimulated by ouabain. These studies indicate that the pinealocyte is an interesting model to use to study the adrenergic regulation of [Ca2+]i because of the rapid and prolonged changes in [Ca2+]i produced by alpha 1-adrenoceptor activation.  相似文献

The Kv1.3 channel inactivates via the P/C-type mechanism, which is influenced by a histidine residue in the pore region (H399, equivalent of Shaker 449). Previously we showed that the electric field of the protonated histidines at low extracellular pH (pHe) creates a potential barrier for K+ ions just outside the pore that hinders their exit from the binding site controlling inactivation (control site) thereby slowing inactivation kinetics. Here we examined the effects of extracellular potassium [K+]e and pHe on the rate of inactivation of Kv1.3 using whole-cell patch-clamp. We found that in 150 mM [K+]e inactivation was accelerated upon switching to pHe 5.5 as opposed to the slowing at 5 mM [K+]e. The transition from slowing to acceleration occurred at 40 mM [K+]e, whereas this "turning point" was at 20 mM [K+]e for inward currents. The rate of entry of Ba(2+) ions from the extracellular space to the control site was significantly slowed by low pHe in wild-type hKv1.3, but it was insensitive to pH(e) in H399K and H399L mutants. Based on these observations we expanded our model and propose that the potential barrier created by the protonated histidines impedes the passage of K+ ions between the extracellular medium and the control site in both directions and the effect on inactivation rate (acceleration or slowing) depends on the relative contribution of filling from the extracellular and intracellular sides.  相似文献

Glucose utilization in primary cell cultures of mouse cerebral astrocytes was studied by measuring uptake of tracer concentrations of [3H]2-deoxyglucose ([3H]2-DG). The resting rate of glucose utilization, estimated at an extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o) of 5.4 mM, was high (7.5 nmol glucose/mg protein/min) and was similar in morphologically undifferentiated and "differentiated" (dibutyryl cyclic AMP-pretreated) cultures. Resting uptake of [3H]2-DG was depressed by ouabain, by reducing [K+]o, and by cooling. These observations suggest that resting glucose utilization in astrocytes was dependent on sodium pump activity. Sodium pump-dependent uptake in 2-3-week-old cultures was about 50% of total [3H]2-DG uptake but this fraction declined with culture age from 1 to 5 weeks. Uptake was not affected by changes in extracellular bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3-]o) in the range of 5-50 mM but was significantly reduced in bicarbonate-free solution. At high [HCO3-]o (50 mM) uptake was insensitive to pH (pH 6-8), whereas at low [HCO3-]o (less than 5 mM) uptake was markedly pH-dependent. Elevation of [K+]o from 2.3 mM to 14.2-20 mM (corresponding to extremes of the physiological range of [K+]o) resulted in a 35-43% increase in [3H]2-DG uptake that was not affected by culture age or by morphological differentiation. Our results indicate a high apparent rate of glucose utilization in astrocytes. This rate is dynamically responsive to changes in extracellular K+ concentration in the physiological range and is partially dependent on sodium pump activity.  相似文献

It is hypothesised that the visual performance of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, will be impaired by strenuous exercise as a result of metabolic stress (blood lactacidosis) that activates the Root effect and limits the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood flowing to the eye. The ability to resolve high contrast objects on a moving background, as a measure of visual performance, was quantified pre- and post-exercise using the optomotor response. Strenuous exercise induced a metabolic acidosis (8.0 mmol l(-1) blood lactate) and a significant red cell swelling response but no change in the optomotor response threshold (120 min of arc) was observed. Beta-adrenergic blockade (propranolol) abolished post-exercise red cell swelling but optomotor response thresholds were still maintained at 120 min of arc despite a significant blood lactate load (7.8 mmol l(-1)). The choroid rete mirabile of the trout is extremely well developed (rete area:eye area = 0.39) and may maintain visual performance by ensuring a relatively direct supply of oxygen to the central regions of the avascular retina. Exercised fish under beta-adrenergic blockade exhibited an enhanced optomotor response at 240-300 min of arc. Assuming that these responses reflect "tunnel vision", adrenergic regulation of red cell function may preserve a high ocular PO(2) gradient that satisfies the oxygen demand of peripheral retinal cells.  相似文献

Prostaglandin E release rates from isolated strips of guinea-pig taenia coli increased during exposure to zero K+ bathing fluid, from control values of 0.78 +/- 0.11 ng/g per min to levels as high as 29.2 ng/per min. Release rates increased for 40-50 min and then remained constant or fell despite progressive increases in intracellular sodium [Nai+] or fall in intracellular potassium [Ki+]. Readmittance of K+ to the bathing solution resulted in rapid reversal of elevated prostaglandin E release rates. [Nai+] and [Ki+] were markedly more abnormal in strips exposed to zero K+ for 70-201 min compared to 30-min exposures. Upon the readdition of K+ after long zero K+ exposure, the rate of prostaglandin E release fell long before [Nai+] and [Ki+] returned to control levels. After K+ was readded to the bathing solution, the ion concentration of tissues exposed to zero K+ for 30 min returned to normal much more quickly than did those of tissues exposed for the longer time periods, yet the exponential rate constants for fall of prostaglandin E release rate after K+ was added were not significantly different after short or long zero K+ exposure. Thus there was a dissociation between the return of [Nai+] and [Ki+] and the fall of prostaglandin E release rate to control levels. Ouabain augmented prostaglandin E release under conditions where [Ki+] could not fall. Addition of known neurotransmitters present in this tissue to the bathing fluid did not augment prostaglandin E release. Guinea-pig taenia coli strips that had been incubated with [3H]arachidonic acid, constantly released [3H]arachidonic acid and [3H]prostaglandin E and a prostaglandin which cochromatographed with prostaglandin E but could not be converted to prostaglandin B by alkali and was shown to be 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha. Release of [3H]arachidonic acid and [3H]prostaglandin E plus 6-[3H]ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha was increased when strips were exposed to zero K+. Data obtained in this study suggest the augmented prostaglandin E release seen during zero K+ or ouabain is related to increased availability of unbound arachidonic acid at the site of cyclooxygenase in the cell. Augmented prostaglandin E release is apparently not related to alterations in intracellular electrolyte concentrations or release of known neurotransmitters.  相似文献

The rate of methane formation from H2 and CO2, the intracellular ATP content and the electrochemical proton potential (delta mu H+) were determined in cell suspensions of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, which were permeabilized for K+ with valinomycin (1.2 mumol/mg protein). In the absence of extracellular K+ the cells formed methane at a rate of 4 mumol min-1 (mg protein)-1, the intracellular ATP content was 20 nmol/mg protein and the delta mu H+ was 200 mV (inside negative). When K+ was added to the suspensions the measured delta mu H+ decreased to the value calculated from the [K+]in/[K+]out ratio. Using this method of delta mu H+ adjustment, it was found that lowering delta mu H+ from 200 mV ([K+]in/[K+]out = 1000) to 100 mV ([K+]in/[K+]out = 40) had no effect on the rate of methane formation and on the intracellular ATP content. At delta mu H+ values below 100 mV ([K+]in/[K+]out less than 40) both the rate of methanogenesis and the ATP content decreased. Methanogenesis completely ceased and the ATP content was 2 nmol/mg when delta mu H+ was adjusted to values lower 50 mV ([K+]in/[K+]out less than 7). The data show that methanogenesis from H2 and CO2 and ATP synthesis in M. thermoautotrophicum are possible at relatively low electrochemical proton potentials. Similar results were obtained with Methanosarcina barkeri. Protonophoric uncouplers like 3,5,3',4'-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCS) or 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-benzylidenemalononitrile (SF 6847) were found not to dissipate delta mu H+ below 100 mV in M. thermoautotrophicum even when used at high concentrations (400 nmol/mg protein). This finding explains the observed uncoupler insensitivity of methanogenesis and ATP synthesis in this organism.  相似文献

Changes in blood gases, ions, lactate, pH, hemoglobin, blood temperature, total body metabolism, and muscle metabolites were measured before and during exercise (except muscle), at fatigue, and during recovery in normal and acetazolamide-treated horses to test the hypothesis that an acetazolamide-induced acidosis would compromise the metabolism of the horse exercising at maximal O2 uptake. Acetazolamide-treated horses had a 13-mmol/l base deficit at rest, higher arterial Po2 at rest and during exercise, higher arterial and mixed venous Pco2 during exercise, and a 48-s reduction in run time. Arterial pH was lower during exercise but not in recovery after acetazolamide. Blood temperature responses were unaffected by acetazolamide administration. O2 uptake was similar during exercise and recovery after acetazolamide treatment, whereas CO2 production was lower during exercise. Muscle [glycogen] and pH were lower at rest, whereas heart rate, muscle pH and [lactate], and plasma [lactate] and [K+] were lower and plasma [Cl-] higher following exercise after acetazolamide treatment. These data demonstrate that acetazolamide treatment aggravates the CO2 retention and acidosis occurring in the horse during heavy exercise. This could negatively affect muscle metabolism and exercise capacity.  相似文献
