| Abstract | 1. Following laminectomy, the L5 ventral roots of anaesthetized rats were split and approximately half of the nerve fibres were stimulated at 40 Hz. Resting membrane potentials were then measured in previously contracting and non-contracting soleus muscle fibres. 2. In the non-contracting soleus fibres there was a post-tetanic increase in mean resting potential (from -82.2 +/- 7.1 (S.D.) to -91.6 +/- 8.7 mV) which was similar to that in contracting fibres (from -83.02 +/- 6.1 to -91.3 +/- 7.3 mV). In both types of fibres the hyperpolarizing responses (HRs) were evidently due to increased sodium pump activity since they could be abolished by the addition of ouabain (1 x 10(-4) M) to the bathing fluid. 3. The beta-adrenergic antagonist, propranolol, completely suppressed HRs in the non-contracting fibres and produced moderate reductions in the contracting ones. The alpha-adrenergic blocking agent, phentolamine, had no effect on the contracting fibres and only a modest, inhibitory, one on the non-contracting fibres. 4. On the basis of the above drug actions it appeared that catecholamines were necessary for the full development of HRs in contracting and non-contracting fibres; noradrenaline, released from intramuscular sympathetic nerve endings, may have been involved. 5. The increased sodium pump activity in the non-contracting fibres would serve to moderate the rise in interstitial [K+] caused by K+ efflux from the contracting fibres. By preventing passive depolarization, due to the rise in interstitial [K+], the sodium pump would also maintain the availability of non-contracting fibres for subsequent recruitment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
