Effect of delta-aminolaevulinic acid on the resting membrane potential of frog sartorius muscle.
The porphyrin precursor delta-aminolaevulinic acid can significantly decrease the resting membrane potential in a single fibre from the sartorius muscle of the frog Rana angolensis. This effect is dose-dependent and reversible.
