title: [The potassium ion yield from the frog muscle studied using a contact ion-selective electrode].
abstract: With the aid of a contact K(+)-sensitive electrode, potassium levels were measured near the surface of the frog resting and twitching isolated m. gastrocnemius. Increasing extracellular K+ in case of indirect repetitive stimulation of the muscle or the blocking of K(+)-Na(+) pump can lead to a depression of the muscle twitches. Transition from repetitive to single-shock stimulation of the muscle restored the twitches. Elevated extracellular potassium seems to be able to cause a presynaptic blockade in the motor axons.
