Abstract: | Adrenergic regulation of phosphoinositide breakdown in rat skeletal muscle was investigated in 30-min incubations with 10 mM LiCl. In rat hemidiaphragms, prelabelled with D-myo-[2-3H]inositol, addition of alpha-agonists (epinephrine, norepinephrine, phenylephrine) induced a 5-8-fold increase of [3H]inositol monophosphate accumulation. This could be prevented by inclusion of alpha-antagonists (phentolamine, prazosin). beta-Agonists and/or beta-antagonists had no effect. Similar experiments with isolated flexor digitorum brevis muscle fibers yielded confirmatory results. Functional integrity of beta-receptor mediated processes was suggested by the beta-agonist-induced increase of glucose 6-phosphate in hemidiaphragms and cAMP in fiber preparations. The results indicate that phosphoinositide breakdown in differentiated rat skeletal muscle is, at least in part, under alpha-adrenergic control. |
