Abstract
Acute and chronic hypophosphatemia are known to cause metabolic myopathy. It has been proposed that impaired Ca transport in subcellular membranes is involved in its genesis. In the present study, calcium transport in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), concentrations of ions or nucleotides and transmembrane potential were investigated in muscles of acutely hypophosphatemic rats, i.e. animals with chronic dietary phosphorous deprivation (PD) and superimposed acute hypophosphatemia resulting from the administration of insulin and glucose. Despite hypophosphatemia and low muscle phosphorous concentration, no significant change of the initial rate of Ca uptake or Ca concentrating ability was observed in the SR of PD rats. Storing capacity was decreased; this may result from altered vesicle geometry. Water content, Na concentration, the concentration of several nucleotides and transmembrane potential of muscle were unchanged in PD rats. The findings document that no intrinsic abnormality of vectorial Ca transport is present in the SR of acutely hypophosphatemic PD animals. Bei akuter und chronischer Hypophosphatämie tritt eine Myopathie auf, für deren Entstehung Störungen des subzellulären Calcium-Transports postuliert wurden. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden die Calcium-Transport-Kinetik im sarkoplasmischen Retikulum (SR), Ionen- und Nukleotid-Konzentrationen sowie Ruhemembran-Potential der quergestreiften Muskulatur akut hypophosphatämischer Ratten untersucht. Bei diesem Modell wurde bei Ratten mit chronischer diätetischer Phosphat-Verarmung eine akute Hypophosphatämie durch Gabe von Insulin und Glukose erzeugt. Trotz Hypophosphatämie und erniedrigter Muskel-Phosphor-Konzentration wurde keine Abweichung der Geschwindigkeit der initialen Calcium-Aufnahme oder der Calcium-Konzentrationsfähigkeit im sarkoplasmischen Retikulum beobachtet. Die Speicherfähigkeit war vermindert; dies mag Ausdruck veränderter Vesikel-Geometrie sein. Wassergehalt, Natrium-Konzentration, Konzentration energiereicher Nukleotide sowie Ruhemembran-Potential waren in der Muskulatur hypophosphatämischer Ratten unverändert. Die Befunde zeigen, daß keine primäre Störung des vektoriellen Calcium-Transports im SR phosphatdepletierter Ratten mit akuter Hypophosphatämie besteht.Keywords
