Effects of the thyroid status on the sarcoplasmic reticulum in slow skeletal muscle of the rat
WS Simonides, C van Hardeveld - Cell Calcium, 1986 - Elsevier
The effects of the thyroid status on the Ca++-transporting capabilities of rat slow skeletal
muscle (m. soleus) were studied. The oxalate supported Ca++-uptake activity and Ca++-
loading capacity of muscle homogenates from hyperthyroid rats showed an approximate 4.2
and 2.5 fold increase, respectively, as compared to values found in the hypothyroid group.
Muscle homogenates of euthyroid rats gave intermediate values. The specific activity of
oxalate supported Ca++ uptake, but not the Ca++-loading capacity, of membrane …
