Effect of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid on rabbit duodenum.
2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) produces myotonia in healthy animals. The action of this drug was studied on smooth muscles in vitro using isolated strips of rabbit's duodenum. The drug was found to have a stimulant action on the smooth muscle. The action seems to be a direct one.
