Abstract

1. One kind of asphyxial increase in excitability is inhibited by glucose and increased by iodoacetic acid and acid solutions. 2. The second kind of asphyxial increase in excitability is increased by glucose and inhibited by iodoacetic acid and acid solutions. 3. The mechanism, which produces the glycolytic asphyxial increase in excitability is antagonistic to the non-glycolytic one. 4. Glucose is utilised anaerobically in two ways; one of these is the same as that in which it is utilised aerobically, and the other is antagonistic. 5. Tone producing substances depress the response of asphyxiated muscle to alternating current if the latter is stimulated about once in 10–15 minutes. 6. There are two anaerobic mechanisms in acid solutions; one is antagonistic to and the other same as aerobic one, 7. During asphyxial increase in excitability, inhibition may be turned into contraction.
