Summary
Experiments on the influence of certain inhibitors of the carbohydrate-phosphorus metabolism on the contraction of various types of muscular fibers permitted the conclusion that the tonic and tetanic reactions change in a different way. Evidently, certain biochemical processes are especially important for tonus, while others for tetanus. Block by the inhibitors was reversible in character. No pronounced difference was found in the action of toxins on the muscle fibers of frogs and rats.
