Recordings of multi-fibre action potentials in pig extensor digitorum at baseline (grey) and 27 hours after induction of sepsis (black). (A) Recordings of multi-fibre action potentials in pig extensor digitorum at baseline (grey) and 27 hours after induction of sepsis (black). Test stimulus is at latency 0 ms, and conditioning stimuli applied at intervals varied from 1,000 to 1.4 ms. Response latencies were measured to peak after subtraction of response to conditioning stimulus alone. (B) Velocity recovery cycles at the two times plotted as percentage changes in latency against the inter-stimulus interval (logarithmic scale).
