Abstract
1. Motor unit twitches were examined in cat flexor digitorum longus (fast twitch) and soleus (slow twitch) muscles. The time course of the effects of a standard tetanus on the peak twitch tension was plotted and the maximal potentiation or depression (the post-tetanic ratio) was measured.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
