Resistance to Ca<sup>2+</sup>-induced opening of the permeability transition pore differs in mitochondria from glycolytic and oxidative muscles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study determined whether susceptibility to opening of the permeability transition pore (PTP) varies according to muscle phenotype represented by the slow oxidative soleus (Sol) and superficial white gastrocnemius (WG). Threshold for Ca2+-induced mitochondrial Ca2+ release following PTP opening was determined with a novel approach using permeabilized ghost myofibers. Threshold values for PTP opening were approximately threefold higher in fibers from WG compared with those from Sol (124+/-47 vs. 30.4+/-6.8 pmol Ca2+/mU citrate synthase). A similar phenomenon was also observed in isolated mitochondria (threshold: 121+/-60 vs. 40+/-10 nmol Ca2+/mg protein in WG and Sol), indicating that this was linked to differences in mitochondrial factors between the two muscles. The resistance of WG fibers to PTP opening was not related to the expression of putative protein modulators (cyclophilin D, adenylate nucleotide translocator-1, and voltage-dependent anion channels) or to difference in respiratory properties and occurred despite the fact that production of reactive oxygen species, which promote pore opening, was higher than in the Sol. However, endogenous matrix Ca2+ measured in mitochondria isolated under resting baseline conditions was approximately twofold lower in the WG than in the Sol (56+/-4 vs. 111+/-11 nmol/mg protein), which significantly accounted for the resistance of WG. Together, these results reveal fiber type differences in the sensitivity to Ca2+-induced PTP opening, which may constitute a physiological mechanism to adapt mitochondria to the differences in Ca2+ dynamics between fiber types.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
