| Abstract | 1. Excitation-contraction coupling process in isolated frog muscle fibres, under conditions which allow the development of a Ba permeability, has been investigated by the simultaneous recording of electrical and mechanical activity. 2. The sustained contraction elicited by a long lasting Ba action potential depends on two mechanisms. The first is potential dependent, the second which is inhibited by MnCl2 (10 mM), depends on the inward flux of Ba ions. 3. The relationship observed between the inward IBa and the peak tension resembles that which has been observed between ICa and the contraction on other muscular structures. 4. The relative tension progressively declines as the intracellular Ba concentration increases and the contractility ends after a series of depolarizing pulses (or Ba action potentials). This indicates that the Ba ions which enter the cell release Ca ions and replace them in the intracellular storage sites. 5. Following a pretreatment with caffeine, the inward IBa fails to induce a contraction. Moreover a muscle which has been loaded with barium until the contraction ceases, does not develop a contracture in presence of caffeine. These results show that the Ba induced Ca release is located at the level of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 6. Calculations show that the amount of Ba ions necessary to abolish the contractility corresponds to the maximum ability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum for Ca binding. 7. Almost all the inward flux of Ba ions and the contraction are abolished by glycerol-treatment which suggests that the coupling occurs at the T-system level. The results are discussed in regard to the technical limitations of the voltage-clamp method. |

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.
