Abstract
The CNS regulates active Na and K transport in rat skeletal muscle during hypokalemia. This regulation is achieved by the apparent release of catecholamines onto muscle following nerve activity. This effect can be prevented by treatment with agents that block the .alpha.-adrenoreceptor [dibenamine, phentolamine and phenoxybenzamine].This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
