Abstract

We have examined the spatial distribution of [Ca2+]i during tetanic stimulation in frog skeletal muscle cells using a fluorescence imaging method. We have found a completely unexpected pattern of Ca release: Ca is released forming gradients composed of spots of very significant and slow fluctuations of calcium release. Our findings could be explained if the calcium release process in skeletal muscle is influenced significantly by [Ca2+]i, such as in cardiac muscle, and suggests that the SR/Ca release control can include the established voltage-dependent plus a cardiac-like process of calcium-induced Ca release and a Ca release inhibition by Ca.
