Post‐tetanic potentiation at the neuromuscular junction of the frog

Open access
Rosenthal, Jean·1969·The Journal of Physiology

Abstract

1. Post‐tetanic potentiation (PTP) was studied at the neuromuscular junction of the frog. The magnitude and time course of PTP was dependent on the number of stimuli in the tetanus, rather than on the frequency or duration of the tetanus. At low temperature the maximum amplitude of PTP was unchanged, but the time course was prolonged. 2. The magnitude and time course of PTP was accounted for quantitatively by estimated changes in the fraction of transmitter released per stimulus. 3. As external [Ca] was reduced, the time for decay of PTP was decreased. The maximum amplitude of PTP, measured with respect to control amplitude at the same [Ca], was unchanged, but occurred at earlier times. The time course of PTP was dependent only on the [Ca] present during the tetanus. 4. It is concluded that PTP is associated with an intracellular accumulation of Ca during the tetanus.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
