Hypothesis-generating for nitrate effects on activation kinetics in amphibian muscle; should not change clinical practice pending mammalian studies.
Nitrate treatment increases the rate of development of activation in frog muscle fibers without affecting the steady-state force-velocity relation.
Cecchi et al. (1978) studied this question.
