Changes in skeletal muscle cell pH during graded changes in PCO2

N C Gonzalez, E B Brown

    Respiration Physiology
    |April 1, 1976

    Summary

    This study found a consistent linear relationship between extracellular and intracellular pH in dog muscles across varying carbon dioxide levels. Muscle cell pH is directly influenced by extracellular pH changes, unlike previous findings in rat diaphragms.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Biochemistry
    • Muscle Metabolism

    Background:

    • Understanding intracellular pH regulation is crucial for cellular function.
    • Previous studies suggested cell pH stability in rat diaphragms despite CO2 variations.
    • Investigating pH dynamics in different muscle types is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the relationship between extracellular and intracellular pH in isolated dog gracilis muscles.
    • To assess the impact of varying carbon dioxide tensions on muscle cell pH.
    • To compare findings with previous studies on rat diaphragms.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolated dog gracilis muscles were perfused with blood equilibrated to different CO2 tensions (30-120 mm Hg).
    • Extracellular pH and venous P CO2 were measured.
    • Intracellular pH was calculated using the DMO distribution method.

    Main Results:

    • A linear relationship (r=0.92) was observed between extracellular pH (6.96-7.41) and intracellular pH (6.64-6.94).
    • The slope of this relationship (ΔpHi/ΔpHe) was consistently 0.64.
    • Results contradict prior findings in rat diaphragms suggesting cell pH is unaffected by CO2 changes within certain extracellular pH ranges.

    Conclusions:

    • Muscle cell pH is directly and linearly affected by extracellular pH changes in dog gracilis muscle.
    • The observed relationship challenges previous assumptions about cell pH buffering capacity in certain conditions.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate species-specific differences in muscle pH regulation.
