There are recent reports that inositol phosphate metabolism is involved in the development of malignant hyperthermia (MH). Consequently, we investigated the basal concentration of inositol phosphate products in skeletal and heart muscles of malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) and healthy control (MHN) swine. Different inositol phosphates were measured by high pressure liquid chromatography, including inositol trisphosphate, tetrakisphosphate, pentakisphosphate and hexakisphosphate. All inositol phosphate products measured had a higher concentration in MHS than MHN in skeletal (304-1330%) as well as heart muscles (134-440%). An activation of the inositol phosphate metabolism has been shown to mobilise intracellular calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It is therefore concluded that, firstly, besides involvement of the skeletal muscles a primary myocardial abnormality in MHS is possible; and secondly, the idea that the inositol phosphate metabolism could be involved in the development of MH is additionally supported.
