Block of contracture in skinned frog skeletal muscle fibers by calcium antagonists

The ability of a number of calcium antagonistic drugs including nitrendipine, D600, and D890 to block contractures in single skinned (sarcolemma removed) muscle fibers of the frog Rana pipiens has been characterized. Contractures were initiated by ionic substitution, which is thought to depolarize r...
