Summary
Inorganic phosphate in millimolar concentrations reduces contractile tension, but increases the speed and the oscillation frequency of glycerinated insect fibrillar muscle, while power output and ATPase are little affected.
Zusammenfassung
Anorganisches Phosphat hemmt die contractile Spannung und erhöht die Kontraktionsgeschwindigkeit und Oscillationsfrequenz glycerinierter fibrillärer Insektenmuskeln (Lethocerus maximus), während die mechanische Leistung und die ATPase-Aktivität kaum beeinflußt werden.
