[Effect of caffeine and glycerin on the Ca transport system of sarcoplasmic reticulum fragments from frog skeletal muscles]. 1984

Zh K Uspanova, and O V Esyrev, and A D Pak, and Sh S Sarsenova, and Zh A Nusupova

Parameters of the Ca2+-ion transport system by a fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from phasic and tonic frog skeletal muscles were investigated under the action of caffeine or caffeine in combination with glycerol. No changes were observed in the Ca-transport system of a light fraction of the sarcoplasmic reticulum under the influence of caffeine and caffeine-glycerol combination. Caffeine reduced the value of Ca/ATP and enhanced the outflux of Ca2+-ions from membrane fragments of the caffeine-sensitive sarcoplasmic reticulum fraction of both the muscles; the combined effect of caffeine and glycerol was analogous to the action of caffeine applied alone. It is concluded that the potentiation of muscle contraction in the presence of glycerol is not due to the excess of Ca-release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum caused by this agent.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011898 Ranidae The family of true frogs of the order Anura. The family occurs worldwide except in Antarctica. Frogs, True,Rana,Frog, True,True Frog,True Frogs
D002110 Caffeine A methylxanthine naturally occurring in some beverages and also used as a pharmacological agent. Caffeine's most notable pharmacological effect is as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing alertness and producing agitation. It also relaxes SMOOTH MUSCLE, stimulates CARDIAC MUSCLE, stimulates DIURESIS, and appears to be useful in the treatment of some types of headache. Several cellular actions of caffeine have been observed, but it is not entirely clear how each contributes to its pharmacological profile. Among the most important are inhibition of cyclic nucleotide PHOSPHODIESTERASES, antagonism of ADENOSINE RECEPTORS, and modulation of intracellular calcium handling. 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine,Caffedrine,Coffeinum N,Coffeinum Purrum,Dexitac,Durvitan,No Doz,Percoffedrinol N,Percutaféine,Quick-Pep,Vivarin,Quick Pep,QuickPep
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000042 Absorption The physical or physiological processes by which substances, tissue, cells, etc. take up or take in other substances or energy.
D000251 Adenosine Triphosphatases A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.
