Increased Muscle Calcium. A Possible Cause of Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Cellular Necrosis in Denervated Rat Skeletal Muscle
Overview
Affiliations
Mitochondrial preparations derived from denervated rat skeletal muscle and paired controls were characterized with respect to their ability to take up externally added Ca2+. The denervated and control muscle homogenates and mitochondrial [Ca2+] were also determined. Our data indicate that the denervated mitochondria are able to take up less Ca2+ than the controls before uncoupling occurs. This defect is associated with elevated [Ca2+] in homogenate and mitochondrial fractions in the denervated state. The causal relationship between Ca2+ overload, mitochondrial functional damage and cell necrosis is discussed.
