Abstract
In a previous paper (1), we have reported our studies on effect of the poison of globefish, tetrodotoxin, on dehydrogenase, yellow enzyme, cytochrome-c-oxidase, cholinesterase and choline acetylase, in an attempt to clarify the mechanism of toxic action of the poison. This time, we have investigated effect of the poison on the glucose uptake and glycogenesis of the isolated diaphragm of the rat. Comparison of epinephrine and nor-epinephrine was also performed as for their action on this process.
