The involvement of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) in relaxation of skeletal muscle has been studied extensively since vesicular fragments of SR membrane were found in the microsomal fraction of muscle homogenates (1,2). It was shown that the isolated SR vesicles exhibit ATP dependent calcium transport in vitro, reducing the Ca2+concentration in the medium to levels (3) and at rates (4,5) compatible with relaxation of myofibrils in physiological conditions (6).The question of calcium release, however, has been elusive for a long time. In this regard it is known that skeletal muscle SR is able to store an amount of calcium which is sufficient for activation of myofibrils. Therefore, it is simply assumed that upon membrane excitation calcium is released from SR, thereby raising the Ca2+concentration in the myoplasm and initiating contraction.Recently various experiments were performed demonstrating that calcium release from SR can occur by different mechanisms of great interest and possibly of physiological relevance. These mechanisms will be discussed here.
