The purpose of
the study was to characterize the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function
and contractile properties before and during recovery from fatigue in
the rat extensor digitorum longus muscle. Fatiguing contractions (60 Hz, 150 ms/s for 4 min) induced a reduction of the SR Ca2+
release rate to 66% that persisted for 1 h, followed by a gradual recovery to 87% of prefatigue release rate at 3 h recovery.
Tetanic force and rate of force development (+dF/dt) and
relaxation (
dF/dt) were depressed by ~80% after
stimulation. Recovery occurred in two phases: an initial phase, in
which during the first 0.5-1 h the metabolic state recovered to
resting levels, and a slow phase from 1-3 h characterized by a
rather slow recovery of the mechanical properties. The recovery of SR
Ca2+ release rate was closely correlated to
+dF/dt during the slow phase of recovery
(r2 = 0.51; P < 0.05).
Despite a slowing of the relaxation rate, we did not find any
significant alterations in the SR Ca2+ uptake function.
These data demonstrate that the Ca2+ release mechanism of
SR is sensitive to repetitive in vitro muscle contraction. Moreover,
the results indicate that +dF/dt to some extent depends on
the rate of Ca2+ release during the slow phase of recovery.
