title: Modulation of Ca2+ release and Na+ channel function in skeletal muscle by fatty acids.
abstract: Ca(2+)- and halothane-induced Ca(2+) release and Na+ currents are modulated by free fatty acids (FAs). FA modulation of ion currents may have important implications for general muscle physiology and skeletal muscle disorders, including malignant hyperthermia (MH).
