Abstract:
:Platelets from normal and malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible pigs were evaluated for differences in 45calcium uptake in the absence or presence of caffeine (2-16 mM), halothane (0.05-0.5%), or halothane and caffeine together. There were no statistically significant differences in basal or halothane-inhibited calcium uptake by platelets from either source. There was a small statistically significant difference in calcium uptake between platelets from normal and MH-susceptible pigs in the presence of 16 mM caffeine and 0.5% halothane. Calcium uptake by platelets from one pedigree of MH-susceptible pigs were stimulated in a concentration-dependent manner by caffeine. These data suggest that exposure of platelets to caffeine may have potential for identifying MH-susceptibility.
