Intracellular calcium movements during excitation–contraction coupling in mammalian slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers

In skeletal muscle fibers, action potentials elicit contractions by releasing calcium ions (Ca(2+)) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Experiments on individual mouse muscle fibers micro-injected with a rapidly responding fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator dye reveal that the amount of Ca(2+) released is th...
