Abstract
In free orthotopic auto-grafts of the extensor digitorum muscle of rats a marked temporary decrease of resting membrane potential (RMP) of two superficial layers of muscle fibres is observed at 2 days with subsequent recovery 4 days after transplantation. Such a temporary decrease of the RMP is not observed in grafts of denervated muscle. This difference in change of RMP is apparently related to a temporary marked decrease or loss of contractility observed in innervated but not denervated graft and may explain in part the relatively more successful grafting of denervated muscles.
