Muscle pH regulation: role of training
Abstract
In most cell types, including resting skeletal muscle fibers, internal pH (pH i) is kept constant at a relatively alkaline level. The high pH i is obtained in spite of a chronic acid load resulting from cellular metabolism and passive influx of protons driven by electrochemical forces. Regulation of pH i depends on continuous activity of membrane transport systems that mediate an outflux of H+ (or bicarbonate influx), whereby the acid load is counterbalanced. The transporters involved in muscle pH regulation at rest are the Na+/H+ exchange system as well as the Na+‐dependent and Na+‐independent Cl–bicarbonate transport systems. The Na+/H+ exchanger seems to be active at resting pH i levels in skeletal muscle. Therefore, pH homeostasis in skeletal muscle most likely involves an equilibrium between counter‐directed H+ fluxes. A minor fraction of H+ release during intense exercise is mediated by the Na+/H+ exchanger. The capacity of this system is increased with training and hypoxia in rat skeletal muscle. The dominant acid extruding system associated with intense exercise is the lactate/H+ co‐transporter. It has been demonstrated that the capacity of the lactate/H+ co‐transporter of rat skeletal muscle is upregulated with training and chronic electrical stimulation, and that it is reduced upon denervation and hindlimb unweighting. Moreover, athletes can have an elevated lactate/H+ co‐transport capacity, whereas the thigh muscle of spinal cord‐injured individuals has a lower transport capacity than the one of healthy untrained subjects. Thus, it appears that the capacity of the lactate/H+ transporter is affected by the level of muscle activity in both rats and humans. In addition, the rate of H+ release from muscle may also be influenced by capillarization and local blood flow. Finally the resulting pH displacement during acid accumulation is determined by the cellular buffer capacity, which may also undergo adaptive changes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
