Abstract
The depolarizing effect of chlorpromazine (in a concentration of 1·10−5–2·10−5 g/ml nutrient medium) on the membrane potential of mouse embryonic cells (at the two-blastomere stage) and also the effect of serotonin and prostaglandin F2α in concentrations of 1·10−4 and 4·10−6–8·10−6 g/ml, respectively, on this depolarization were investigated. Preliminary administration of serotonin reduced the depolarizing effect of chlorpromazine, but prostaglandin had no such action.
