Abstract
Summary
The potentiating effect of piperidylmethylandrostane on twitch response of intact, striated, anterior tibial muscle was shown to occur following both direct stimulation of the muscle and indirect stimulation via its motor nerve. By use of the microelectrode technic evidence was obtained which indicates that the potentiating effect is accompanied by an increase in conduction time of indirectly induced cell depolarization, and an increased duration of transmembrane and surface potentials of single muscle cells.
