Desensitization of amphibian neuromyal junction was obtained by either repetitive, brief (2
msec) iontophoretic pulses of acetylcholine (ACh) or by a prolonged (40 sec) iontophoretic …

Skeletal neuromyal (NM) junction is one of the primary targets of either acute or chronic
action of anticholinesterases (antiChE's) generally and of organophosphorus (OP) ChE …

Abstract Effects of various antidotal treatments on neuronal RNA contents and on soman
induced RNA and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) depletion were monitored using quantitative …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the physiological cholinergic functions in the
central nervous system (CNS). The seventh meeting of the Informal International Cholinergic …

The anti-curare action of sodium fluoride was investigated in cat tenuissimus muscle by
means of intracellular micro-electrode techniques. Eight millimoles of sodium fluoride …

While the transmission across the neuromyal junction and the resulting muscle contraction
looked relatively simple to Descartes as he believed that, during the muscle activity, the …

This investigation deals with the effects of fluoride ion (F−) on the frog sciatic nerve-sartorius
muscle preparation; intracellular recording and voltage clamp techniques were employed …

Facilitatory effects of theophylline in neuromuscular transmission were studied using cat
tenuissimus muscle fibre. Trains of end-plate potentials (EPP'S), in the presence and …

Ephedrine produced either facilitation or depression of indirectly evoked muscle
contractions. Facilitation occurred at lower doses (< 1 mg, close-arterially) and when slower …

This study concerns the effects of theophylline on nerve-muscle transmission of the frog; it
was of particular interest to evaluate the facilitatory actions of theophylline at the …
