Contraction of muscle fibril under the effect of salt solutions without ATP.
It is possible to elicite contraction on isolated muscle fibrils of honey-bee in isotonic sugar-solution by adding certain salt solutions without the addition of ATP. From this phenomenon we can conclude that the muscle contraction can appear under the effect of electricity.
