Actions of scorpion venom on skeletal muscle.
A protein-like constituent of scorpion venom produced effects on the skeletal muscle fibre resembling those of citrate, lack of calcium or veratrine. These effects could be diminished by the addition of calcium. They do not appear to be due to the formation of a non-ionized complex with calcium.
