[Dependence of rigor tension developed by skinned rabbit psoas fibers on the ionic strength of solution]

The magnitude of isometric tension developed by a bundle of skinned rabbit psoas fibers when it is transferred from relaxing to rigor solution strongly depends on the ionic strength value of the bathing rigor solution. Upon elevation of the ionic strength from 0.04 to 0.34 the rigor tension declines about 2.3 times.
