Abstract
WIDELY different reports exist concerning the changes in potassium-42 uptake by denervated muscle. Lyman1 found an increased uptake after denervation. Fischer et al. 2 could show no differences in uptake between normal and denervated muscles in the rabbit. Finally, Harris and Nichols3, who measured the uptake of potassium-42 into denervated frog muscle in vitro, reported, in agreement with their previous results4, that the uptake is decreased.
