The isolation and chemical characterization of skeletal muscle microsomes from swine susceptible to malignant hyperpyrexia
Abstract
1. The anaesthetic complication malignant hyperpyrexia (MH) occurs in individuals and swine with a muscle membrane abnormality. 2. In an attempt to characterize this abnormality, the lipid and protein composition of muscle membranes from MH-susceptible swine was examined and compared with controls. 3. No significant abnormality in the membrane protein or lipid content of MH-susceptible muscle was detected.
