title: Calcium uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum from nerve-intact and standard skeletal muscle grafts.
abstract: A freely grafted rat soleus muscle exhibits a decrease in velocity and capacity of SR calcium uptake. This deficit is not prevented by maintaining neural connections (nerve-intact graft) during grafting. Thus the greater mechanical capability of nerve-intact grafts, relative to standard grafts, is not accompanied by any enhancement of the SR tubules.
