Summary

If the muscle is simultaneously treated with veratrine and cadmium chloride solutions there is no veratrine sensitization effect of potassium ion action on the muscle. This sensitization may be reestablished after the treatment of the muscle with unithiol, the sulfhydryl preparation solution.

A conclusion is drawn that the sulfhydryl group of protein bodies play a definite role in the sensitization of potassium ions on the muscles with veratrine. This is connected with the special part played by the sulfhydryl groups in the integration of the protein structures.
