A therapeutic and prophylactic dose of dantrolene administered to malignant hyperthermia-susceptible pigs had no effect on the abnormal in vitro contracture response of subsequent muscle biopsies. The in vitro contracture response of MHS pig muscle to halothane and to caffeine was not altered by prior dantrolene treatment. It is concluded that prior dantrolene administration has no effect on the discrimination of porcine MSH by in vitro pharmacological testing.

Milan hypertensive (MSH) rats develop hypertension around the 3rd-4th week of life and exhibit increased Na-pump activity in adulthood. The present study was performed to evaluate whether or not hypertension is preceded by an increase in Na-K-ATPase activity. Total and ouabain-sensitive ATPase activities were studied in single microdissected medullary thick ascending limb of Henle (mTAL) tubules from MHS, Milan normotensive (MNS) and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at 22-24, 26-28 and 45-60 days of age. Data are given as mean +/- SEM. Total and Na-K-ATPase activity exhibited a developmental pattern in MHS, MNS and SD rats. At 22-24 days no difference was seen between MHS and MNS animals. At 26-28 days MHS had a higher total and Na-K-ATPase activity than MNS (3031 + 171 vs 2471 + 178 pmol phosphate/mm tubule per hour, P less than 0.05; 2289 + 205 vs 1653 + 151, n = 10, P less than 0.05). At this age there was still no difference in mean arterial blood pressure (88 + 4 vs 86 + 3 mm Hg, n = 15). Adult MHS rats had higher blood pressure (140 + 9 vs 112 + 8 mm Hg, P less than 0.001) and higher total (3544 + 136 vs 2718 + 215 pmol phosphate/mm tubule per hour, n = 10, P less than 0.01) and Na-K-ATPase activity (2670 + 99 vs 1942 + 217 pmol phosphate/mm tubule per hour, n = 10, P less than 0.05) than adult MNS rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
