Experiments with application of colchicine to the muscle motor nerve carried out; this was done for the purpose of disturbance of rapid axoplasmic transport. A reduction of the areas of transverse sections of the muscle fibers, an increase in the number of fibers with a low succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) activity a greater homogeneity of the muscle fibers by the degree of optic density in staining for detection of the SDH activity was noted. Analogous changes were revealed under conditions of section of the motor nerve. However, denervation was accompanied by the block of conductivity and by degenerative changes in the nerve endings. As to the preparations treated with colchicine, transmission of excitation in the nerve and through the synapse was retained and was recorded by the end plate miniature potentials, end plate potentials and the action potentials of the muscle fibers. A conclusion was drawn that rapid axoplasmic transport brought substances maintaining differentiated state of the muscle fibers. 相似文献

The mechanical activity of frog sartorius muscle fibers can be uncoupled from the electrical activity of their surface membranes by immersing the preparation in Ringer solution containing either 1.5 or 2.0 M of formamide for 15--20 min. This uncoupling is not reversed when the muscle is transferred to normal frog Ringer solution. Formamide does not affect the electrical activity of the sciatic nerve branch, and both endplate potentials and miniature endplate potentials may be recorded from the uncoupled muscles. Prolonged exposure to formamide, beyond the time needed to paralyze, causes neuromuscular block. 相似文献

Lizard skeletal muscle fiber types were investigated in the iliofibularis (IF) muscle of the desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis). Three fiber types were identified based on histochemical staining for myosin ATPase (mATPase), succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), and alphaglycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alphaGPDH) activity. The pale region of the IF contains exclusively fast-twitch-glycolytic (FG) fibers, which stain dark for mATPase and alphaGPDH, light SDH. The red region of the IF contains fast-twitch-oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) fibers, which stain dark for all three enzymes, and tonic fibers, which stain light for mATPase, dark for SDH, and moderate for alphaGPDH. Enzymatic activities of myofibrillar ATPase, citrate synthase, and alphaGPDH confirm these histochemical interpretations. Lizard FG and FOG fibers possess twitch contraction times and resistance to fatigue comparable to analogous fibers in mammals, but are one-half as oxidative and several times as glycolytic as analogous fibers in rats. Lizard tonic fibers demonstrate the acetylcholine sensitivity common to other vertebrate tonic fibers. 相似文献

Colchicine application to the nerve innervating the frog sartorius muscle leads to reduction of the differences in functional condition of the myoneural synapses of this muscle by the signs of quantum content of the end plate potential (EPP) and by the changes of the EPP amplitudes in high frequency stimulation. Along with this there occurs a rarefaction of the frequency of miniature potential of the end plate, and reduction of its amplitude. Apparently, the latter is caused by reduction of effective resistance of the postsynaptic membrane. Changes of the induced and spontaneous secretion of the mediator are connected with disturbances of the axoplasmic transport just in the somatic nerve fibers. 相似文献

Do muscle fiber properties commonly associated with fiber types in adult animals and the population distribution of these properties require normal activation patterns to develop? To address this issue, the activity of an oxidative [succinic dehydrogenase (SDH)] and a glycolytic [alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD)] marker enzyme, the characteristics of myosin adenosinetriphosphatase (myosin ATPase, alkaline preincubation), and the cross-sectional area of single fibers were studied. The soleus and medial gastrocnemius of normal adult cats were compared with cats that 6 mo earlier had been spinally transected at T12-T13 at 2 wk of age. In control cats, SDH activity was higher in dark than light ATPase fibers in the soleus and higher in light than dark ATPase fibers in the medial gastrocnemius. After transection, SDH activity was similar to control in both muscles. GPD activity appeared to be elevated in some fibers in each fiber type in both muscles after transection. The cross-sectional areas most affected by spinal transection were light ATPase fibers of the soleus and dark ATPase fibers of the medial gastrocnemius, the predominant fiber type in each muscle. These data demonstrate that although the muscle fibers of cats spinalized at 2 wk of age presumably were never exposed to normal levels of activation, the activity of an oxidative marker enzyme was maintained or elevated 6 mo after spinal transection. Furthermore, although the absolute enzyme activities in some fibers were elevated by transection, three functional protein systems commonly associated with fiber types, i.e., hydrolysis of ATP by myosin ATPase and glycolytic (GPD) and oxidative (SHD) metabolism, developed in a coordinated manner typical of normal adult muscles. 相似文献

A histochemical and enzymatic study of the muscle fiber types in the water monitor, Varanus salvator
T T Gleeson 《The Journal of experimental zoology》1983,227(2):191-201
Histochemical analysis of five muscles from the water monitor, Varanus salvator, identified three major classes of fibers based on histochemical activities of the enzymes myosin ATPase (mATPase), succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha GPDH). Fast-twitch, glycolytic (FG) fibers were the most abundant fiber type and exhibited the following reaction product intensities: mATPase, dark; SDH, light; alpha GPDH, moderate to dark. Fast-twitch, oxidative, glycolytic (FOG) fibers were characteristically mATPase, dark; SDH, light; alpha GPDH, moderate to dark. The third class of fibers had the following histochemical characteristics: mATPase, light; SDH, moderate to dark; alpha GPDH, light. These fibers were considered to be either slow twitch, or tonic, and oxidative (S/O). Pyruvate kinase (PK), alpha GPDH, and citrate synthase (CS) activities were measured in homogenates of the same muscles studied histochemically. There was a positive relationship between both PK and alpha GPDH activities and the percentage of glycolytic fiber types within a muscle. Likewise, CS activities were greater in muscles high in FOG and S/O content. Based on CS activities, Varanus S/O fibers were eight-fold more oxidative than FG fibers within the same muscle. PK/CS ratios suggested that FG fibers possess high anaerobic capacity, similar to the iguanid lizard Dipsosaurus. The fiber type composition of the gastrocnemius muscle, relative to that of other lizard species, suggests that varanid lizards may possess a greater proportion of FOG and S/O fibers than other lizards. 相似文献

The adaptation of a slow (soleus, Sol) and a fast (medial gastrocnemius, MG) skeletal muscle to spaceflight was studied in five young male rats. The flight period was 12.5 days and the rats were killed approximately 48 h after returning to 1 g. Five other rats that were housed in cages similar to those used by the flight rats were maintained at 1 g for the same period of time to serve as ground-based controls. Fibers were classified as dark or light staining for myosin adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). On the average, the fibers in the Sol of the flight rats atrophied twice as much as those in the MG. Further, the fibers located in the deep (close to the bone and having the highest percentage of light ATPase and high oxidative fibers in the muscle cross section) region of the MG atrophied more than the fibers located in the superficial (away from the bone and having the lowest percentage of light ATPase and high oxidative fibers in the muscle cross-section) region of the muscle. Based on quantitative histochemical assays of single muscle fibers, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity per unit volume was unchanged in fibers of the Sol and MG. However, in the Sol, but not the MG, the total amount of SDH activity in a 10-microns-thick section of a fiber decreased significantly in response to spaceflight. Based on population distributions, it appears that the alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) activities were elevated in the dark ATPase fibers in the Sol, whereas the light fibers in the Sol and both fiber types in the MG did not appear to change. The ratio of GPD to SDH activities increased in the dark (but not light) fibers of the Sol and was unaffected in the MG. Immunohistochemical analyses indicate that approximately 40% of the fibers in the Sol of flight rats expressed a fast myosin heavy chain compared with 22% in control rats. Further, 31% of the fibers in the Sol of flight rats expressed both fast and slow myosin heavy chains compared with 8% in control rats. Immunohistochemical changes in the MG were minimal. These data suggest that the magnitude and direction of enzymatic activity and cell volume changes are dependent on the muscle, the region of the muscle, and the type of myosin expressed in the fibers. Further, the ability of fibers to maintain normal or even elevated activities per unit volume of some metabolic enzymes is remarkable considering the marked and rapid decrease in fiber volume. 相似文献

Postnatal differentiation and growth of the fibers comprising the tonic soleus and phasic plantaris muscles, were investigated histochemically in kittens. Compensatory hypertrophy was induced by ablation of the synergistic gastrocnemius muscle.At birth both muscles consist of relatively homogeneous fiber populations as demonstrated by myosin ATPase and succinic dehydrogenase activities and glycogen content (PAS method). Differential myosin ATPase activities become evident during the first week (soleus and plantaris), while diversification of fiber types according to SDH and glycogen develop gradually and independently during the first 2 mo of life (plantaris).Compensatory hypertrophy is associated with a substantial enlargement of both dark and light fibers (incubated for myosin ATPase) and, with increases in SDH activity which are most notable in fibers that normally are low in this enzyme. The normal growth associated reduction in the percentage of fibers with high myosin ATPase activity is significantly accelerated in the hypertrophic soleus, while the hypertrophic plantaris, which normally undergoes only a slight reduction in the percentage of such fibers, is unaffected. These results underline the paramount role of the nerve fiber in the process of differentiation but also indicate that functional overload exerts a modifying influence on this process. 相似文献

Miniature end plate potentials (MEPPs) were simultaneously recorded in frog sartorius muscle by two intracellular microelectrodes. Some isolated groups of points (clouds) were found on the diagram of MEPPs scatter. Several peaks each of which was composed of signals from certain clouds (or from several clouds) on the scatter diagram were found on the histograms of MEPPs amplitude distribution. It is assumed that the clouds on the scatter histogram and the peaks on the histogram of MEPPs amplitudes are formed at the cost of secretion of quantum acetylcholine from spatial separate areas of transmitter release. The data obtained do not correspond with the subquantum hypothesis of transmitter release in neuromuscular junctions. 相似文献

Osmotic Properties of Amphibian Muscles 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Changes in the volume of fiber water in hypotonic and hypertonic Ringer's solution were determined for the sartorius, stomach, and cardiac muscle of the frog using two methods. Loss of water in hypertonic solutions was nearly the same in all muscles, but swelling in hypotonic solutions was greatest in the sartorius, smallest in the heart. For the sartorius the deviation from the properties of an osmometer can be accounted for by a loss of electrolyte and by assuming that a small part of the fiber water is bound, but this appears insufficient to explain the behavior of stomach and cardiac muscle in hypotonic solutions. In very dilute solutions of CaCl2 and MgCl2 a large difference in concentration of electrolytes is maintained between the fibers and the medium. Under these conditions divalent cations, accumulating in the fibers, produce a change in physical properties which indicates increased internal cross-linking. It is suggested, therefore, that swelling is limited as in a gel and that a considerable hydrostatic pressure may develop within the fibers. 相似文献

Size and metabolic properties of fibers in rat fast-twitch muscles after hindlimb suspension 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Hindlimb suspension (HS) results in whole muscle atrophic and metabolic changes that vary in magnitude in different hindlimb muscles. The present study was designed to investigate these effects in single fibers. Fiber type and size and the activities of two metabolic marker enzymes were determined in a deep (close to the bone) and a superficial (away from the bone) region of the medial gastrocnemius (MG) and the tibialis anterior (TA) of control (CON) and 28-day HS adult female rats. Fibers were classified as dark or light adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) based on their qualitative staining reaction for myosin ATPase following alkaline preincubation. Fiber area and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) activities were determined in tissue sections by use of an image analysis system. After 28 days of HS, the mean body weights of the CON and HS were similar. MG atrophied 28%, whereas TA weight was maintained in the HS. Both dark and light ATPase fibers in the deep region of the MG had smaller cross-sectional areas following HS, with the atrophic response being approximately twice as great in the light ATPase fibers. No significant changes in fiber type composition in either muscle or in fiber sizes in the superficial region of the MG or in either region of the TA were observed. Mean SDH activities of both fiber types were significantly lower in the MG and TA following HS. In contrast, mean GPD activities were either increased or maintained in light and dark ATPase fibers of both muscles in HS. Changes in SDH and GPD activity could not be directly linked to changes in fiber cross-sectional area. In summary, these data suggest an independence of the mechanisms determining muscle fiber size and metabolic adaptations associated with HS. 相似文献

It has been shown on neuro-muscular preparations of frog sartorius muscle that chromium ions in the concentrations 1-4 x 10(-6) g/ml strengthen spontaneous and evoked transmitter release. Cr3+ ions in the concentrations above 4 x 10(-6) g/ml decrease the membrane potential of muscle fibres, decrease the quantum content of the end plate potentials. Experiments on a single Ranvier node have shown that Cr3+ ions decrease the amplitude, increase the rate and duration of the action potential of a nerve fibre. It is concluded that chromium ions produce a pronounced effect on synaptic transmission, which differs significantly from the action of manganese, cobalt and nickel ions. 相似文献

Size and metabolic properties of single muscle fibers in rat soleus after hindlimb suspension 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of 28 days of hindlimb suspension (HS) and HS plus 10 daily forceful lengthening contractions on rat soleus muscle fibers were studied. Compared with age-matched controls (CON), soleus wet weights of suspended rats were significantly decreased (approximately 49%). In HS rats, the light adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) fibers (staining lightly for myosin ATPase, pH = 8.8) atrophied more than the dark ATPase fibers (staining darkly for myosin ATPase, pH = 8.8). Single-fiber alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activities and the proportion of dark ATPase fibers were higher in HS than CON rats. Daily forceful lengthening contractions did not prevent the suspension-induced changes. These results considered in conjunction with a collaborative study on the mechanical properties of HS rats (Roy et al., accompanying paper) suggest a shift in the contractile potential of the muscle following HS without a deficit in SDH, a metabolic property commonly associated with resistance to fatigue. The results support the view that soleus muscle fibers can change from a slow-twitch oxidative to a fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic profile, but rarely to a fast-twitch glycolytic one, and that SDH and GPD activity per volume of tissue can be maintained or increased even when there are severe losses of contractile proteins. 相似文献

Transverse cryostat sections of skeletal muscle were fixed in a solution containing 1.5% glutaraldehyde and 1.5% sulfosalicylic acid and stained in a solution containing equal volumes of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 50% ethanol saturated with o-tolidine. Myoglobin in the sarcoplasm of muscle fibers was precipitated and stained blue. Applicability of this method to cryostat sections, without glutaraldehyde fixations prior to freezing, allowed the myoglobin content of individual muscle fibers to be correlated with other histochemical characteristics of the same fibers seen in serial sections. In the dark red bovine sternomandibularis muscle, fibers with weak adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and strong succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity always exhibited strong myoglobin staining. An equal degree of staining was found in many fibers with strong ATPase and intermediate to strong SDH activity. Fibers with strong ATPase and weak SDH activity were less strongly stained than the preceding types. 相似文献

Two weeks after colchicine nerve treatment the evoked transmitter release was blocked in part of the frog sartorius synapses, with spontaneous activity being absent from some of them. In the synapses with evoked and spontaneous transmitter release preserved within this period of time, the magnitudes of the absolute refractory phase of nerve terminals were significantly higher than the control ones, while in part of synapses, the frequency of miniature end plate potentials (MEPP) was considerably increased. Nerve stimulation (5 imp.s-1) led to a rise of the amplitude of evoked potentials and of MEPP frequency followed by irreversible blockade of synaptic activity. It is concluded that substances transported by rapid axonal flow control the level of membrane potential of nerve terminals and are fairly important for presynaptic membrane integrity. 相似文献

The action of carbacholine (Cch) and muscarinic agonists--methylfurmethide, oxotremorine, metacholine, L- and D-F-2268 isomers on spontaneous quantum transmitter release was investigated in experiments on the frog sartorius muscle of R. temporaria. Cch decreased the frequency of miniature and plate potentials (mEEP) by 48%. The muscarinic agonists at a wide concentration range had no effect on mEEP frequency both in normal ionic medium and with potassium concentration increase to 10 mmol/l. The data obtained confirm the assumption that the inhibitory action of Cch on spontaneous transmitter release is unrelated to its muscarinic activity. It was concluded that muscarinic cholinoreceptors controlling spontaneous transmitter release are absent in the frog motor nerve terminals. 相似文献

In frog sartorius muscle fibers in which the transverse tubular system has been disrupted by treatment with glycerol, action potentials which are unaccompanied by twitches can be recorded. These action potentials appear to be the same as those recorded in normal fibers except that the early afterpotential usually consists of a small hyperpolarization of short duration. After a train of action potentials no late afterpotential is seen even when the membrane potential is changed from the resting level. In fibers without transverse tubules hyperpolarizing currents do not produce a creep in potential. The interruption of excitation-contraction coupling, the changes in the afterpotentials, and the disappearance of creep are all attributed to the lack of a transverse tubular system. 相似文献

The distribution of glycogen, lipids and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) in twitch and tonus fibers of several amphibians and birds is described, and the correlation of histochemical properties with fiber structure and function is discussed. Twitch and tonus fibers were identified histologically by the presence of Fibrillenstruktur and Felderstruktur respectively. The rectus abdominis, sartorius and semitendinosus were studied in Rana pipiens, Xenopus laevis and Necturus maculosus; the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, anterior latissimus dorsi and posterior latissimus dorsi were investigated in Gallus gallus and Passer domesticus. Periodic acid-Schiff was used to stain for glycogen, Sudan Black B for lipids and Nitro BT for localization of SDH activity. In amphibian muscles, fibers with Fibrillenstruktur and Felderstruktur constitute the rectus abdominis. Except in one case, only Fibrillenstruktur fibers were seen in the sartorius and semitendinosus. In the avian muscles, fibers with Fibrillenstruktur comprise the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor and posterior latissimus dorsi, while fibers with Felderstruktur constitute the anterior latissimus dorsi. These types of muscle fibers showed no consistent pattern in the distribution of glycogen, lipids and SDH. The evidence precludes the use of such data alone for distinguishing twitch (Fibrillenstruktur) and tonus (Felderstruktur) fibers. 相似文献

To determine the level of coordination in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity between plantaris motoneurons and muscle fibers, the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles were bilaterally excised in four cats to subject the plantaris to functional overload (FO). Five normal cats served as controls. Twelve weeks after surgery the right plantaris in each cat was injected with horseradish peroxidase to identify plantaris motoneurons. SDH activity then was measured in a population of plantaris motoneurons and muscle fibers in each cat. Control motoneurons and muscle fibers had similar mean SDH activities and a similar relationship between cell size and SDH activity. After FO, muscle fiber size doubled and mean muscle fiber SDH activity halved. Motoneuron mean SDH activity and size were unaffected by FO. Total SDH activity was unchanged in both the motoneurons and muscle fibers after FO. These changes suggest a selective increase in contractile proteins with little or no modulation of mitochondrial proteins in the muscle fibers, because total SDH activity was unchanged in muscle fibers after FO. These data demonstrate that although mean SDH activities were similar in control motoneurons and muscle fibers, mean SDH activities in these two cell types can change independently. 相似文献
