Why the study?
Do temperature, local anaesthetics, pH, divalent cations, and group-specific reagents affect repriming and repolarization-induced contractures in frog skeletal muscle?
Do temperature, local anaesthetics, pH, divalent cations, and group-specific reagents affect repriming and repolarization-induced contractures in frog skeletal muscle?
The study supports the view that activation and inactivation of contraction following depolarization in frog skeletal muscle are separate potential-dependent processes.

Animal data from frog skeletal muscle warrant clinical caution; leaves open whether temperature, pH, or modifiers modulate mammalian cardiac excitation-contraction coupling.
Foulks et al. (1979) studied this question.
