Abstract
The activity of chemodenervating agents can be ascertained by injecting locally a known quantity of the agent and determining the extent of inhibition of acetylcholine release about the locus resulting therefrom. Inhibition of acetylcholine release is indicative of denervation in a muscle, therefore the extent of inhibition of acetylcholine release is coextensive with the zone of denervation induced by the quantity of the agent.
