Abstract

The effect of electrical stimulation of autonomic nerves on c-AMP levels in the tibial muscle of rats was studied after pretreatment with a phosphodiesterase inhibitor and a muscle paralyzant. Cyclic-AMP levels in the skeletal muscle increase significantly. This increase is not the result of changes in muscle blood flow which might have resulted from autonomic nerve stimulation. These studies indicate that the adenyl cyclase-cyclic AMP system in skeletal muscle may be controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
