How does the response to acetylcholine in the presence of nifedipine compare to the response to acetylcholine without nifedipine? what response is there to nifedipine by itself (if any)?

Respuesta :

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), are ligand-gated ion channels and they can be a Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion channel. Since nifedipine is a Ca2+ channel blocker (Ca2+ channel antagonist), it might inhibit the response of acetylcholine (if its receptor is Ca channel).
