Résumé / Abstract

Until recently, the existence of a Na₊-K₊-2Cl_- cotransporter (NKCC) in skeletal muscle was unclear. Recent evidence shows that the NKCC is strongly expressed and provides both K₊ and water transport functions in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. The contribution of NKCC activity to K₊ and volume regulation in skeletal muscle has potential consequences for muscle contractility and metabolism.
