Porcine malignant hyperthermia: genotype and contractile threshold of immature muscles.

Muscle & nerve - 1 Jan 1996

Gallant E M, Jordan R C

Abstract excerpt

We investigated whether malignant hyperthermia (MH)-related contractile abnormalities, such as lowered contractile threshold, were expressed in MH-susceptible (MHS) immature muscles and myotubes. Muscles from neonatal piglets homozygous for Arg615 (normal) or for Cys615 (MHS) ryanodine receptor a...
