Abstract
The denervation induced fall in RMP close to the site of nerve section was reduced in the presence of 10-14M db cyclic AMP and was prevented altogether by 2.5 x 10-14M db cyclic AMP strongly supporting the hypothesis that the adenyl cyclase system was concerned in the trophic action. Cyclic AMP had no effect, presumably because the drug could not penetrate muscle fibre membranes.
