摘要
This study was designed to investigate the possibility that reserpine might exhibit an action at the neuromuscular junction by observing its interaction with d-tubocurarine. It was found that the dose of d-tubocurarine to cause paralysis of the hind limbs in normal rabbits was 0.176 ± 0.008 mg/kg. However, after the animals received various doses of reserpine, the required dose of d-tubocurarine needed increased significantly. Since reserpine does not alter neuromuscular transmission, it is possible that reserpine increases the excitability of the end plate. Thus, a larger dose of d-tubocurarine is needed for hind limb paralysis. © 1969.
