The influence of direct single pulse and subtetanic electrical stimulation (ES) on isolated rat hemidiaphragm response to adrenoceptor antagonists and calcium channel blockers was investigated. Muscle contractility was stimulated by cumulative micromolar noradrenaline. Noradrenaline effects on devel...
