title: [Effect of hyaluronidase on the quantum content and binomial p and n parameters of neuromuscular transmission in frogs].
abstract: In the frog dermo-sternal muscle hyaluronidase (0.01--0.1%) caused e.p.p. amplitude and quantum content of transmission to fall when acting in a solution containing 1 mM Ca2+ and 4 mM Mg2+. The change in the quantum content was related to a decrease in binomial parameter n, the probability of mediator p release increased in the first moments of the enzyme action. With the prolongation of hyaluronidase action, negative values of p appeared. Hyaluronidase caused an increase in e.p.p. amplitude and in quantum content of transmission when acting in a solution containing 8 mM Ca2+ and d-tubocurarine. It was suggested that hyaluronidase modifies the normal calcium exchange between the bulk solution and the unstirred layer near nerve terminal membrane thus affecting the transmission.
