A Linear Dose-Response Curve at the Motor Endplate
... In their simplest forms these theories predicted that with increasing concentration of drug, the steady-state response would approach a maximum, resulting from maximum occupation of receptors. This prediction was not fulfilled. Both Nickerson (1956) and Stephenson (1956) found that a maximum effect ...
