A study of the chemokinetic effects of various pharmacological agents upon tetrahymena vorax
Abstract
1.1. Twenty-eight chemicals were tested for their effect upon the swimming velocity of Tetrahymena vorax, including many neurotransmitter substances together with some of their agonists and antagonists.2.2. Acetylcholine produced a decrease in the forward swimming velocity, acting in a dose dependent manner with a lower threshold concentration of 0.5 × 10−1 M.3.3. The effect of acetylcholine was enhanced by physostigmine (eserine) and …
