Lactate and metabolic H+ transport and distribution after exercise in rainbow trout white muscle

An isolated-perfused tail-trunk preparation was employed to study the influence of transmembrane pH gradient and membrane potential on the transport and distribution of L(+)-lactate (Lac), metabolic H+ (delta Hm+), and related parameters in rainbow trout white muscle after exhaustive exercise. One resting [arterial pH (pHa) approximately 7.9] and four postexercise treatments (pHa approximately 7.4, 7.9, 8.4, and, high K+, pHa approximately 7.9, …
