title: Effect of dantrolene sodium upon the activity of the hind leg muscle of the cat with local tetanus.
abstract: Cats with local tetanus were i.v. injected with dantrolene sodium. There is no effect of dantrolene sodium on the electromyogram in response to indirect stimulation of the non-poisoned muscle nor on the increased spontaneous activity of the poisoned muscle. The tension of the muscle, however, was strongly reduced.
