متن کاملBiphasic Potassium Contractures in Frog Muscle Fibers
Potassium-induced contractures were studied in single fibers from the semitendinosus muscle of Rana pipiens. Contractures elicited by solutions containing 60-117 mM potassium and 120 mM chloride were biphasic, consisting of a rapid initial contraction with a duration at 23 degrees C of less than 1 sec followed by a slow response with a duration of many seconds. At 13 degrees C, the initial resp...
