The Na+, K+ pump and its discovery -- The transport and distribution of Na+ and K+ in skeletal muscle and how they are quantified -- Rapid passive fluxes of Na+ and K+ start muscle contraction and set a limit to excitability -- The definition, structure and function of the Na+, K+-pump -- The synthesis and localization of the Na+, K+ pumps in skeletal muscle -- Measurements of the content of [3H]ouabain binding sites indicate that in skeletal muscle, the major part of these binding sites of the Na+, K+ pumps are localized on the outer surface of sarcolemma and in the t-tubules -- The content of Na+, K+ pumps in skeletal muscles and how it can be quantified -- Muscle contractions, Na+, K+ transport and sodium potassium fatigue -- The rate of [³H]ouabain binding to sarcolemma can be quantified and what information may this provide? -- Measurements of [3H]ouabain binding to other cell types and preparations -- Acute and long-term regulation of Na+, K+ pumps in skeletal muscle -- Catecholamines and caffeine -- Peptide hormones stimulating the Na+, K+ pumps -- Insulin-like growth Factore-I (IGF-I) -- CGRP and other calcitonins -- Amylin, related peptides, and other stimuli for the Na+, K+ -pumps -- The importance of Na+-influx in causing depolarization and muscle fatigue -- Effect of varying Na+, K+-pump stimulating agents on intracellular Na+ in rat soleus muscles and how this may compensate functional defects caused by plasma membrane leakage -- Long-Term regulation of Na+, K+ pump content -- Training, inactivity and denervation -- Muscular dystrophy and McArdle disease -- Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis in horses, human subjects and mutant mice with a similar geneti anomaly -- K+ deficiency and K+ restoration -- Thyroid hormones ans starvation -- Thermogenic actions of thyroid hormones and malignant hyperthermia (MH) -- Diabetes -- Steroid hormones, glucocorticoids, aldosterone -- Major conclusions and general perspectives |
