Abstract
The rate of Ca2+ accumulation in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the skeletal muscle (m. gastrocnemius lateralis, m. vastus medialis, andm. soleus) is studied in rats under conditions of functional off-loading of the hind paws (suspending animals by the tail). The rate of Ca2+ transport in the sarcoplasmic reticulum is shown to be stepped up in all these muscles. In the sarcoplasmic reticulum ofm. gastrocnemius lateralis andm. vastus medialis the Ca2+ transport rate reliably drops, which does not occur inm. soleus. During a 2-week period of readaptation of animals suspended for 40 days, the Ca2+-transporting function of them. soleus sarcoplasmic reticulum gradually recovers to reach the control values, whereas the time course of recovery of Ca2+-pump activity in the sarcoplasmic reticulum ofm. gastrocnemius lateralis andm. vastus medialis has a phasic pattern.
