Methylxanthine-induced escalation: a propagated wave phenomenon observed in skeletal muscle developing in culture.

Abstract:

:Relatively low concentrations of methylxanthines increase spontaneous twitching in cultured muscle fibers; they also cause a second activity, escalation, which is the initiation and undiminished propagation of visible waves. The effect on twitching is abolished by depolarizing concentrations of K(+) or by tetrodotoxin; the effect on escalation is not. Escalation is prevented by removal of external Ca(++) or by the addition of tetracaine.
