Hypothesis-generating for membrane ion dynamics in skeletal muscle; leaves open any clinical translation or therapeutic relevance.
This basic science study demonstrates that the relaxation rate of potassium contractures in skeletal muscle is controlled by a membrane-dependent process influenced by calcium, strontium, and pH.
Carlo Caputo (1968) studied this question.
