Caffeine- and Potassium-Induced Contractures of Frog Striated Muscle Fibers in Hypertonic Solutions
The effect of hypertonic solutions on the caffeine- and KCl-induced contractures of isolated fibers of frog skeletal muscle was tested. Hypertonic solutions, twice the normal osmotic strength, prepared by adding NaCl or sucrose, potentiate the caffeine-induced contractures. The fibers may develop t...
