Regulation of Muscle Acetylcholine Sensitivity by Muscle Activity in Cell Culture

Muscle in tissue culture provides a good system for studying longterm changes in surface membrane acetylcholine sensitivity. Muscle fibers stimulated intermittently over prolonged periods are less sensitive to iontophoretically applied acetylcholine and bind less 125I-labeled α-bungarotoxin than inactive fibers.
