Miniature end-plate potentials in neuromuscular disease: an electrophysiological investigation of motor-point muscle biopsies.
A technique is described for the electrophysiological investigation of motor-point muscle biopsies and the data from 13 biopsies are reported. It was not possible to demonstrate any influence of disease upon the resting potentials of individual biopsies, but resting potentials were in general lower than those reported for limb muscle in vivo. Miniature end-plate potentials (MEPPs) in clinically...
متن کاملEffects of Cesium Ions on the Frequency of Miniature End Potentials at the Frog Neuromuscular Junction -Plate
The effects of Cs ions on the frequency of miniature end-plate potentials (MEPPs) were. investigated at the frog neuromuscular junction. The frequency of MEPPs increased gradually with time, after a delay, when part of the NaCI in normal Ringer's solution was replaced isotonically with CsCI. The delay was greatly prolonged and the rate of increase in MEPP frequency slowed when a low concentrati...
متن کاملCholinesterase activity of motor end plate in human skeletal muscle.
The activity and properties of cholinesterase of the motor end plate in human intercostal muscle were studied in the isolated muscle membrane. This preparation was used because cholinesterase activity of the membrane preparation was localized in the motor end plate without contamination of cholinesterase of other muscle components. Under the experimental conditions, cholinesterase in a human en...
متن کاملThermal Acclimation, Neuromuscular Synaptic Delay and Miniature End-plate Current Decay in the Frog Rana Temporaria
1. The effects of 1 or 2­3 weeks of acclimation to 4 °C and 24 °C of overwintering grass frogs (Rana temporaria) on the synaptic delay and on the time constant of the decay phase (tau) of miniature end-plate currents (MEPCs) in the neuromuscular junction of sartorius muscle were studied. In order to equalize the possible effects of differential starvation, the animals were usually c...
متن کاملNon-Poisson distribution in time of small- and large-mode miniature end-plate potentials.
Minature end-plate potentials (MEPP's) were recorded from frog (Rana pipiens) sartorius muscle cells of 60--80 mum diam; MEPP frequency remained constant up to 3 h and was 100 times greater in 80-mum cells than in 6-mum cells. Rapid cooling or heating of preparations initiated or accentuated bursts of MEPP's. Records from cells under control conditions and from cells where the MEPP population h...
