The effect of removal of the pancreas and administration of acetylcholine on the peripheral divisions of the reflex ARC in cold-blooded animals

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Preliminary (several days before the experiments) removal of the pancreas in frogs caused a certain decrease in the rate of the excitation spread and reduction of the nerve stem lability. Both the lability and the stability of the myoneural connection are decreased as well as the excitability, the frequency of impulsation and adaptation of the proprioceptors of the neuromuscular appratus. Systematic administration of acetylcholine to the operated animals prevents the development of the mentioned changes in the preparation.
