TL;DR
Dantrolene sodium therapy gave relief of muscle symptoms and improved the exercise tolerance and both the CK level and the K(+)-efflux in ischaemic forearm testing became normal on this therapy.
Abstract
A patient with exertional rhabdomyolysis and continuously elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) was investigated. The known causes of recurrent attacks of rhabdomyolysis were ruled out by appropriate histochemical and biochemical investigations. During ischaemic exercise tests an abnormal K(+)-efflux from exercising muscles was observed. The patient was found to have a deficiency of muscular Ca(2+)-ATPase. Dantrolene sodium therapy gave relief of muscle symptoms and improved the exercise tolerance. Both the CK level and the K(+)-efflux in ischaemic forearm testing became normal on this therapy.

Experimental evidence suggests that one bout of eccentric exercise has a long lasting protective effect against damage induced by a second bout of exercise, and this adaptation can partly be attributed to an increase in connective tissue.

Systematic biochemical evaluation of muscle biopsy specimens revealed specific enzymopathies in about half of the patients with idiopathic myoglobinuria, which may have blocks of metabolic pathways not yet studied routinely, or genetic defects of the sarcolemma, such as Becker's muscular dystrophy.

The deficiency of the Ca2+ transport protein in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of type 2 fibers, which may be the primary expression of a presumed gene defect, can explain the impaired muscle relaxation of the patients.

The site of exercise-induced muscle fatigue is suggested to be the muscle membrane, which includes the sarcolemma and T-tubule membrane; the excitability of the membrane is dependent on the membrane potential.
