Acetylcholine Sensitivity of Muscle Fiber Membranes: Mechanism of Regulation by Motoneurons

Douglas M. Fambrough 1

1 Department of Embryology, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Baltimore, Maryland 21210

Inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis prevent the development of acetylcholine supersensitivity in organ-cultured rat diaphragm muscle but do not affect established acetylcholine sensitivity. The restriction of this sensitivity in innervated muscle apparently involves muscle fibers.
