O2 gradients from sarcolemma to cell interior in red muscle at maximal VO2

The American Journal of Physiology
T E Gayeski, C R Honig

Abstract

The intracellular distribution of O2 in cross sections of dog gracilis muscles was determined by myoglobin (Mb) cryospectrophotometry. The volume sampled by the photometer was approximately 30 micron3 and contained 1-2 mitochondria. Measurements could be made to within 3 micron of capillaries without interference from hemoglobin. Mb saturation was uniform at all loci examined when respiration was blocked with cyanide. During twitch contraction at maximum O2 consumption, saturations within a cell cross section varied by up to 20%. The corresponding difference in partial pressure of O2 (PO2) was 1.5 Torr. Circumferential O2 gradients parallel to and 5 micron from the sarcolemma were greatest near capillaries. They did not exceed 0.1 Torr/micron and were dissipated within 25 micron of the sarcolemma. Gradients perpendicular to the sarcolemma were less than 0.02 Torr/micron. Saturation was not significantly correlated with cell diameter. Minimum PO2 was seldom located at the center of the cell cross section. Differences in saturation between contiguous cells often exceeded 10%. The distribution of O2 within cells appeared to reflect both an intercellular O2 flux and and an O2 flux from adjacent capillaries. Data agree qualitatively...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
