Researches on neuro-muscular functional parameters in experimentally hyperthyroidized rats and in human hyperthyroidism.
The authors have determined the neuro-muscular functional parameters of conductibility and excitability in normal and hyperthyroidized rats. The determination of hyperthyroidization and of the neuro-muscular functional parameters was accomplished by utilizing an own experimental model. The data obtained in rats were compared with those established by authors in normals and in patients suffering from hyperthyroidism. It resulted clearly that in rats hyperthyroidization disturbs particularly the conductibility of motor fibres while in man hyperthyroidism modified especially the excitability of motor fibres.
