Purine biosynthesis by the ‘de novo’ pathway was demonstrated in isolated rat extensor digitorum longus muscle with [1-14C]glycine, [3-14C]serine and sodium [14C]formate as nucleotide precursors. Evidence is presented which suggests that the source of glycine and serine for purine biosynthesis is extracellular rather than intracellular. The relative incorporation rates of the three precursors were formate greater than glycine greater than serine. Over 85% of the label from formate and glycine was recovered in the adenine nucleotides, principally ATP. Azaserine markedly inhibited purine biosynthesis from both formate and glycine. Cycloserine inhibited synthesis from serine, but not from formate. Adenine, hypoxanthine and adenosine markedly inhibited purine synthesis from sodium [14C]formate.

Pyruvate Ratio

The concentration of NADH was determined a high-oxidative muscle (soleus) and a high-glycolytic muscle (extensor digitorum longus, EDL) from resting rats. The NADH content of freeze-clamped control muscles was 0.35 +/- 0.04 (mean +/- S.D.) and 0.31 +/- 0.04 mmol/kg dry wt. in EDL and soleus respectively, and increased to peak values of 0.58 +/- 0.05 (EDL) and 0.87 +/- 0.10 (soleus) after 10 min of NaCN treatment. The [lactate]/[pyruvate] ratio, which was not significantly changed in soleus and increased only slightly in EDL after NaCN incubation, shows that only minor changes occurred in the cytosolic NADH concentration. Provided that the major part of muscle NADH is located in the mitochondria it can be calculated that the mitochondrial NADH content in skeletal muscle at rest is about 36 (soleus) and 60% (EDL) of the anoxic value, respectively. These results are in contrast with previous studies with the surface-fluorescence technique, where mitochondrial NAD appeared to be almost completely reduced in resting skeletal muscle.

Stimulation Of

Experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that insulin-induced hyperpolarization of rat skeletal muscle is mediated by stimulation of a ouabain-inhibitable electrogenic pump. Parallel experiments were carried out on rat caudofemoralis with isoproterenol, known to hyperpolarize rat skeletal muscle by stimulation of such a pump. Ouabain (10(-5) M) completely inhibited isoproterenol-induced hyperpolarization within 15 min but had no effect on half-maximal insulin-induced hyperpolarization. Ouabain (10(-6) M) inhibited isoproterenol effect by 60% during a period of 5–15 min. Ouabain (10(-4) M) had no effect on insulin-induced hyperpolarization within 10 min but depolarized during the next 10 min. In a separate series of studies in rat extensor digitorum longus muscle, 10(-5) M ouabain increased intracellular Na+ within 14 min. It is concluded that in rat caudofemoralis muscle, insulin-induced hyperpolarization is not mediated by a ouabain-inhibitable electrogenic pump.

ABSTRACT The studies describe alterations after hypophysectomy in the proportion of the type-1 and type-2 fibres in rat skeletal muscles, and the effects of replacement treatment with pituitary human (h) GH. Cytochemical analysis of myosin ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase activities in sections of rat hind limb muscles were used as markers of fibre type and revealed that hypophysectomy reduced the proportion of type-1 fibres by 50% in soleus and in extensor digitorum longus muscles. This reduction in the proportion of type-1 fibres was accompanied by the appearance of transitional fibres (type 2C/1B). Following seven daily injections of hGH (60 mIU/day) to hypophysectomized rats, the proportion of type-1 fibres in both soleus and in extensor digitorum longus was increased with a concomitant reduction in the number of transitional fibres. After 11 days of treatment, all these transitional fibres had reverted back to type-1 fibres. Only hGH was observed to elicit this effect; injections of other pituitary hormones had no effect on the proportions of these transitional fibres. These alterations in fibre type occurred more rapidly than the changes reported after prolonged electrical stimulation of muscle or following extended exercise. These findings suggest that hypophysectomy and GH injection can result in a rapid alteration in the fibre composition of skeletal muscle, which may have important implications in terms of the resistance to fatigue and speed of contraction of the muscle.

1. The kinetics of radioactive labelling of extra- and intra-cellular amino acid pools and protein of the extensor digitorum longus muscle were studied after incubations with radioactive amino acids in vitro. 2. The results indicated that an extracellular pool could be defined, the contents of which were different from those of the incubation medium. 3. It was concluded that amino acids from the extracellular pool, as defined in this study, were incorporated directly into protein.

Ambient Temperatures

Our knowledge of the effects of unweighting on skeletal muscle of juvenile rapidly growing rats has been obtained entirely by using hindlimb-suspension models. No spaceflight data on juvenile animals are available to validate these models of simulated weightlessness. Therefore, eight 26-day-old female Sprague-Dawley albino rats were exposed to 5.4 days of weightlessness aboard the space shuttle Discovery (mission STS-48, September 1991). An asynchronous ground control experiment mimicked the flight cage condition, ambient shuttle temperatures, and mission duration for a second group of rats. A third group of animals underwent hindlimb suspension for 5.4 days at ambient temperatures. Although all groups consumed food at a similar rate, flight animals gained a greater percentage of body mass per day (P < 0.05). Mass and protein data showed weight-bearing hindlimb muscles were most affected, with atrophy of the soleus and reduced growth of the plantaris and gastrocnemius in both the flight and suspended animals. In contrast, the non-weight-bearing extensor digitorum longus and tibialis anterior muscles grew normally. Earlier suspension studies showed that the soleus develops an increased sensitivity to insulin during unweighting atrophy, particularly for the uptake of 2-[1,2–3H]deoxyglucose. Therefore, this characteristic was studied in isolated muscles within 2 h after cessation of spaceflight or suspension. Insulin increased uptake 2.5- and 2.7-fold in soleus of flight and suspended animals, respectively, whereas it increased only 1.6-fold in control animals. In contrast, the effect of insulin was similar among the three groups for the extensor digitorum longus, which provides a control for potential systemic differences in the animals.
