Abstract:
:The effects of fatigue on the membrane conductance of frog sartorius muscle at the resting potential and during an action potential were studied. When muscles were exposed to an extracellular pH of 8.0 the membrane conductance at the resting potential increased during fatigue by about 20% and returned to prefatigue level in about 20 min. The membrane conductance of muscle fibers exposed to pH 6.4 was about three times less than that of pH 8.0 and decreased further during fatigue. Furthermore, the recovery of a normal membrane conductance was slow at pH 6.4. Both the inward, depolarizing and the outward, repolarizing currents during the action potential are reduced in fatigue. In each case the effect is greater at pH 6.4 than at 8.0 and recovery towards normal values is slower at pH 6.4. It is concluded that the ionic conductance of the sarcolemmal membrane at the resting potential and during an action potential are modified by fatigue and that these changes are modulated by pHo.
