Zusammenfassung

Die Befunde ergeben, dass einzelne Muskelfasern der Entenmuschel durch Mikroinjektion mit45Ca aufgeladen werden können. Eine Umspülung der Muskelfasern mit einer coffeinhaltigen Lösung bewirkt ein stärkeres Ausströmen des Calciums als eine Mikroinjektion des Coffeins in die Fasern direkt.
