Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum from muscle of swine which are susceptible to malignant hyperpyrexia is deficient in inositol 1,4,5,-trisphosphate phosphatase (InsP35-ase) activity, which leads to high intracellular concentrations of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and of calcium ions. Halothane inhibits InsP35-ase and further increases myoplasmic InsP3 and calcium ion concentrations, and produces the clinical features of malignant hyperpyrexia.
