Alters temperature effects on frog muscle contractility; leaves open translation to mammalian or human excitation-contraction coupling.
Does low temperature affect excitation-contraction coupling in frog single muscle fibres?
Low temperature significantly alters the excitation-contraction coupling in frog muscle fibers, notably slowing the repriming process and lowering the contractile threshold.
Carlo Caputo (1972) studied this question.
