Enhancement and diminution of mechanical tension evoked by staircase and by tetanus in rat muscle

1. Potentiation of the isometric twitch tension was compared during and after the staircase and after tetanic stimuli in the fast‐twitch extensor digitorum longus muscle of adult Lewis rats at 37‐38°C.
