Résumé

La stimulation préganglionique à 60/sec pendant 4 min produit un épuisement des vésicules synaptiques et une réduction de 30% du contenu de l'acétylcholine. Après cette période de stimulation, on observe fréquemment l'enflure de l'éclatement des mitochondries aux extrémités des nerfs. Ces changements dans l'ultrastructure de ces dernières ne se sont pas encore montrés reversibles lorsque l'on laisse par la suite les ganglions se reposer pendant plusieurs minutes.
