THE EFFECT OF ENZYME INHIBITORS ON THE RESTING POTENTIAL AND ON THE ION DISTRIBUTION OF THE SARTORIUS MUSCLE OF THE FROG

Abstract

Isolated frog sartorii were exposed for 30 minutes to HETP—an irreversible anti-cholinesterase, and were then soaked in Ringer's at 15°C. for 16 hours. At the end of the period of soaking the mean resting potential of the muscle fibers was only 29 mv.
