Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine on the contractility of mammalian skeletal muscle under hypothermic conditions.
METHODS
Contractions of isolated rat soleus muscle were induced by either electrical stimulation (ES) or carbachol at physiological temperatures (37°C) and hypothermic conditions (30-14°C) and recorded in the presence of ATP, adenosine, suramin, and 8-(p-sulfophenyl)-theophylline (8-SPT).
RESULTS
At 37°C, incubation of the muscles with ATP inhibited ES-induced contractions; the inhibitory effect of ATP disappeared at 14°C. Adenosine inhibited ES-induced contractions at all temperature levels; 8-SPT fully prevented the action of adenosine. ATP and adenosine did not significantly affect carbachol-induced contractions at 37°C, while at lower temperatures ATP potentiated them. Suramin fully prevented effects of ATP.
CONCLUSIONS
ATP is involved in both pre- and postsynaptic regulation of rat soleus muscle contractility, and these processes are significantly more pronounced at low temperatures. Muscle Nerve 55: 417-423, 2017.
