Abstract |
During in vivo experiments on the mouse diaphragm preparations the effect of a single sublethal dose of armin (1/2 of LD50) on the dynamics of changes in acetylcholinesterase activity, frequency and time of half-decay of miniature end-plate potentials (MEPP) was studied as compared with the H-effect value. It was found that the increase of the H-effect correlated (r = 0.902) with the decrease of acetylcholinesterase activity, the increase of MEPP frequency occurring later than the changes in the enzyme activity and the H-effect value. The data obtained reveal the possible of nonquantal secretion of the mediator from the motor nerve endings of the skeletal muscles in the pathogenesis of acute poisonings with armin.
