1. Apparatus is described in which rat extensor digitorum longus muscle can be incubated in buffer under conditions of light tension and be subject to contractures induced by electrical stimulation in vitro. Under these conditions the tissue retains its weight, its content of potassium and size of the extracellular space at values similar to those in vivo. 2. Though uptake of glucose was enhanced on addition of insulin, there was little increase in glucose consumption on stimulation. Breakdown of glycogen and enhancement of lactate output were found on stimulation. 3. Incorporation into protein of several labelled amino acids was diminished during stimulation. Accumulation of [(14)C]leucine was enhanced whereas that of glycine was decreased. 4. There were no very consistent changes in the content of free unlabelled amino acids during incubation with or without stimulation. Comparison of actual amino acid concentrations in tissue and incubation mixture with accumulation of (14)C-labelled amino acid indicated that full equilibration of the cell pool of amino amino acids with the medium is slow. 5. Substantial oxidation of several (14)C-labelled acids was observed. 6. The ATP content of the tissue declined a little during incubation and somewhat faster after a period of stimulation. 7. The results are discussed in relation to the way in which exercise can induce muscle hypertrophy.
