Popis: | ConclusionsRyanodine causes a high oxygen consumption in muscles which do not shorten. In those muscles that shorten the oxygen consumption falls off as the muscle shortens. The length of the muscle seems to regulate the oxygen consumption of the Ryanodine-treated muscle. Complete cutting off of the extra metabolism due to Ryanodine occurs at 30% of the rest length.We are indebted to Dr. Roeder and to Merck and Co. for supplying us with the purified Ryanodine powder.We wish to thank Dr. Robert W. Ramsey for his helpful advice and interest in this problem. We are also indebted to him for making many of the microscopic observations on the structure of the muscle at the conclusion of the experiments. |
