Lithium and Neuromuscular Transmission

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1982
The actions of lithium on end-plate depolarization and on indirect and direct twitch response of isolated guinea pig muscle were investigated. At clinical concentrations lithium did not cause depolarization, nor did it affect the depolarizing action of carbachol.

Tetrodotoxin and neuromuscular transmission

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1967
1. The puffer fish poison, tetrodotoxin ( T . T .) was applied to eliminate impulse propagation in nerve and muscle fibre, and the physiological properties of the neuromuscular junction were studied under this condition. 2.

Neuromuscular transmission in thyrotoxicosis

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1979
The occurrence of thyrotoxicosis in myasthenia gravis is estimated as 5.3% (Osserman et al. 1967) but the incidence of myasthenia in the course of thyrotoxicosis is only 0.2% (Simpson 1968). The association between these two diseases is not a chance one and there are two possible basic mechanisms viz.

Purinoceptors in neuromuscular transmission

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1997
At the neuromuscular junction, P2-purinoceptors mediate the actions of the co-transmitter ATP and P1-purinoceptors, those of its degradation product adenosine. The classification of the subtypes of P1- and P2-purinoceptors and their signal transduction routes is presented.

Neuromuscular Transmission

Abstract The simplest neuromuscular transmission involves motor neurons in the spinal cord that synapse with muscle fibers at the motor end plate. Transmission across the length of a neuron involves the use of an action potential, which can be defined as the sudden rise and subsequent fall in membrane potential that propagates down the ...

Cyclic Nucleotides in Neuromuscular Transmission

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1981
A review of the research on cyclic nucleotides and neuromuscular transmission suggests that cAMP is involved in the release of transmitter from motor nerve endings. Lipid-soluble derivations of cAMP cause depolarization of unstimulated nerve endings and prolong the after potentials of stimulated nerve endings.
