Abstract

Calcium release, from sarcoplasmic reticulum Calcium-induced calcium release Dantrolene Halothane Malignant hyperthermia
Calcium-induced calcium release and halothane-induced calcium release from pig sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) were studied. The SR prepared from pig susceptible to malignant hyperthermia (MH) was shown to release calcium at a much lower level of calcium content than in normal pig SR. The concentration above which halothane can release calcium is 40 μM for both MH-SR and normal SR, although the latter required a high calcium content to demonstrate the calcium release. Dantrolene was shown to inhibit the halothane-induced calcium release. Results suggests that SR plays an importnat role in pathogenesis of MH.
