Abstract: | The calcium entry blockers sodium nitroprusside (10?2M) and sodium pentobarbital (5 × 10?3M) had different effects on high-potassium-induced and Frescon-induced contractures in a smooth and a cross-striated muscle of the snail Lymnaea stagnalis. This suggests that Frescon causes an increase in sarcolemmal calcium permeability by a mechanism which is different from that utilized by high extracellular potassium. |
