Gated phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) spectra were acquired after 5 or 9 s of 5-Hz stimulation in rat and cat skeletal muscles, respectively. Net phosphocreatine (PCr) hydrolysis was associated with an intracellular alkalinization of 0.08 +/- 0.01 and 0.05 +/- 0.003 pH units in isolated perfused cat biceps and soleus, respectively, and 0.12 +/- 0.02 in the superficial predominantly fast-twitch white portion of gastrocnemius of anesthetized rats. The net change in [H+] expected from PCr hydrolysis was calculated, and apparent buffer capacity (beta) in intact muscles was calculated from beta = delta [H+]/delta pH. The beta of the same muscle types was also estimated from titration of muscle homogenates between pH 6.0 and 8.0. The contribution of Pi to total beta of the homogenates was subtracted to ascertain the non-Pi beta for each muscle. The non-Pi beta values were added to the actual amount of Pi present in the stimulated muscles to calculate a predicted beta at pH 7. The apparent beta calculated from PCr and pH changes in intact muscles and the predicted beta from homogenate titrations were in good agreement (38 +/- 9 vs. 38 slykes in cat biceps, 21 +/- 7 vs. 30 in cat soleus, and 30 +/- 6 vs. 27 in rat gastrocnemius). The results indicate that changes in pH during the first few seconds of contraction can be entirely accounted for by proton consumption via net PCr hydrolysis.
