Abstract:
:Muscle spindle activity has been shown to decrease in the sustained contracting muscle. The effect has been assumed to result from a declining fusimotor drive. Since accumulation of metabolites including H(+), lactate and CO(2) might also affect the receptor in the fatiguing muscle, the impulse activity of muscle spindles isolated from the cat tenuissimus muscle was characterized under varying degrees of extracellular pH, thus excluding any effect on fusimotor activity, blood supply and extrafusal muscle fibers. The isolated receptor was exposed to bathing fluids of pH 6.4, 7.4 and 8.4, and afferent discharge activity was recorded from the spindle nerve. Both primary and secondary endings responded similarly to changes in pH. Resting discharge frequency usually decreased with decreasing pH and increased with increasing pH. A sudden break-off in activity was observed with about 40% of primary endings and about 30% of secondary endings at pH 6.4. Experiments with slow stretch stimulation indicated that this effect was caused by a rising threshold of firing at the encoder site of the endings. With brief ramp-and-hold stretches, we tested the effects of changes in pH on the dynamic and static sensitivity of primary and secondary endings. When pH was reduced from 7.4 to 6.4, the initial burst activity at the beginning of the ramp phase increased in primary and secondary endings and the dynamic response increased in secondary endings, demonstrating that the dynamic properties of muscle spindle endings were usually augmented in the acidic milieu. The static properties rose as well because the static index of both types of ending increased significantly. By contrast, dynamic and static properties of both primary and secondary endings decreased significantly, when pH was increased from 7.4 to 8.4. The amplitude of tension that was measured during the passive stretch stimuli very slightly decreased in the acidic solution and very slightly increased in the alkaline solution. The decrease in the resting discharge activity at low pH supports those previous observations, which demonstrate a reduced peripheral input from muscle spindle afferents to the spinal motor nuclei during fatigue in the isometric contracting muscle. The present finding indicates that an attenuated afferent discharge is not only caused by a decreasing central activation of gamma-motorneurons, but may additionally be supported by a direct effect of protons on the muscle receptor itself. The accompanying augmentation of stretch sensitivity is suggested to correspond to the well-known increase in physiological tremor during exhaustive exercise.
