[Effect of tail suspension on mitochondrial Ca2+ and Mg2+ and parameters of electron microscopic morphometry in rats' skeletal muscle].
Changes of mitochondrial Ca2+, mitochondrial Mg2+ and parameters of electron microscopic morphometry in rats' skeletal muscle after 15 or 30 d tail suspension were observed. The results showed that mitochondrial Ca2+ [correction of Ma2+] mitochondrial Mg2+ increased and morphometry of mitochondrial in skeletal muscle showed that volume density (Vv), surface density (Sv), numerical density (Nv) increased. Mean volume (V) decreased. Specific surface increased in soleus muscle, while that parameter remain unchanged in gastrocnemus musles. It suggests that these changes may be denoted to the decrease of muscular contractive function in simulated weightlessness.
