Abstract
RECENTLY, Goffart and Brown1 have shown that the effectiveness of adrenaline in increasing the twitch tension of the isolated rat‘s diaphragm preparation is inversely proportional to the amount of potassium ion in the bath. In continuation of these experiments, I have been studying the responses of the rat‘s diaphragm preparation immersed in potassium-free Tyrode‘s solution.
