Skeletal muscle fatigue in vitro is temperature dependent.

Our purpose was to determine the effect of temperature on the fatigability of isolated soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles from rats during repeated isometric contractions. Muscles (70-90 mg) were studied at 20-40 degrees C in vitro. Fatigability was defined with respect to both the time and number of stimuli required to reach 50% of the force (P) developed at the onset of the fatigue test. Fatigue was studied during stimulation protocols of variable [force approximately 70% of maximum force (Po)] and constant frequency (28 Hz). Results for soleus and EDL muscles were qualitatively similar, but fatigue times were longer for soleus than for EDL muscles. During the variable-frequency protocol, development of approximately 70% of Po required an increase in stimulation frequency as temperature increased. During stimulation at these frequencies, fatigue time shortened as temperature increased. For both fatigue protocols, the relationship between temperature and the number of stimuli required to reach fatigue followed a bell-shaped curve, with maximum values at 25-30 degrees C. The temperature optimum for maximizing the number of isometric contractions to reach fatigue reflects direct effects of temperature on muscle function.
