Popis: Background: Prolonged effects of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants in septic patients have been reported, although the influence of sepsis on neuromuscular transmission has not yet been clarified satisfactorily. These studies were intended to elucidate the influence of sepsis on neuromuscular transmission and on the action of drugs being utilized for regulation of muscle tone (a neuromuscular blocker and anti-cholinesterase (anti-ChE) drugs). Methods: The effect of d-tubocurarine (dTc) on neuromuscular transmission and the antagonistic action of anti-ChE drugs (neostigmine and edrophonium) on dTc-induced twitch depression were estimated using sham control and septic rat nerve-hemidiaphragm preparations in vitro. Isometric twitch tension elicited by indirect (phrenic nerve) or direct (muscle) stimulation at 0.1 Hz was evaluated. Results: Sepsis induced by panperitonitis attenuated the twitch tension elicited by indirect or direct stimulation (P
