Figure 1

Effect of egg extract on the neuromuscular transmission in mouse isolated phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparations. Legend: The neurotoxicity of the egg extract was demonstrated by detecting its effect on the amplitude of phrenic muscle contraction caused by the electrical stimulation of phrenic nerve. (A) control; (B) test, adding the egg extract at a concentration of 0.25 mg/mL after stable contraction in Tyrode’s solution for about 20 min; (C) washing the test preparation with Tyrode’s solution after blockade.
