Table 1.

Differential effects of synaptic activity from those of muscle contraction.

“Synaptic activity includes the presynaptic events related with nerve stimulation (1 Hz, 30 min), synaptic transmission and endplate potential generation due to ACh signaling (referred to as the Stimulation condition in the figures). Muscle contraction includes membrane depolarization of the muscle fiber involving voltage-dependent sodium channels and the resulting myofiber contraction (referred to as the Contraction condition in the figures). Finally, presynaptic Stimulation with Contraction treatment comprises the effects of synaptic activity and muscle contraction, showing complete neuromuscular activity.”
