The esterasic capacity of a series of skeletal muscles in response to three hemisuccinate ester drugs was investigated in rats and compared to that on alpha-naphthylacetate as a reference esterase substrate. Marked variations between different muscles and between given muscles of animals of different sex were observed, indicative of a complex heterogeneity in muscular expression of esterase activity.
