title: [Seasonal changes of the activity of calcium-transporting systems in the heart and skeletal muscles of hibernating animals].
abstract: In a short review of literature and according to our own data the molecular mechanisms providing seasonal adjustments of the activity of membrane Ca-transporting systems (Ca-channels and Ca-pumps) in muscle tissues of animals which spent winter time in a deep torpor state (hibernation), were analyzed. Special attention was paid to changes of protein composition of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes--the key intracellular structure responsible for excitation-contraction coupling in different types of muscles, as well as to participation of endogenous protein kinases in regulation of functional activity of plasma membrane Ca-channels and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase during hibernation.
