title: [Neuromuscular transmission troubles in a case of acute lithium intoxication (author's transl)].
abstract: In the course of an acute intoxication by lithium, neuromuscular junction has been tested by 1 sec bursts of repetitive stimulation. Recorded data concern: (1) inhibition of acetylcholine synthesis, at the time of high seric rates; (2) exhibition, at rather lower concentrations, of two types of potentiation: a primary, moderate potentiation, high frequency-sensitive (30 or 50 HZ), and a more lasting cumulative potentiation, enhancing the post-tetanic potentiation by nearly 300%. Results are compared with some of the neurophysiological data in the literature.
