title: [Ca2+ transport by the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum in rats after suspension of the hindlimbs].
abstract: The functional capacity of skeletal muscle SR was examined in the lateral gastrocnemius (LG) of rats submitted to 1-40-day of disuse produced by a hindlimb suspension (HS). The Ca uptake by SR was measured in homogenate of muscle by means fo Ca-selective electrode, and the time course of SR Ca(2+)-pump inactivation in tissue homogenates incubated at 45 degrees C was studied. There were po significant effects of hindlimb unweighting on muscular Ca pump during 1-14 days of HS. The amount of Ca uptake in SR of LG was about 41% higher in the HS group than in the control after 25 days of HS. After 40 days of HS, the activity of Ca(2+) transport increased by 58% in SR atrophied HS muscle compared with the control. The increased resistance of LG muscle SR Ca pump to thermal exposure was observed after HS. The possible reasons of muscular Ca-pump activation after HS were discussed.
