Slow Muscle Fibres

Slow muscle fibres in the frog are normally incapable of generating action potentials. However, several days after an intramuscular injection of α-bungarotoxin, they acquire the ability to generate action potentials. It appears that α-bungarotoxin induces the action potential mechanism in slow fibres because it blocks acetylcholine receptors, and thus interferes with the action of non-quantal acetylcholine leaking from nerve terminals, or because the toxin has some other, as yet undefined, action on nerve or muscle.
