Question

Thapsigargin is a potent calcium atpase pump inhibitors. What state of the myogram would be affected immediately?

Answer 1

The fact that Thapsigargin is a potent calcium atpase pump inhibitor means that the phase that will see immediate effects is the Relaxation period.

Why does the Relaxation period get immediately affected?

Calcium ATPase pumps help the muscles to relax after contraction which means that Thapsigargin prevents this from happening.

It's effect will therefore be immediately felt in the relaxation period as muscles will be unable to relax.

Options for this question are:

a. Latent period

b. Contraction period

c. Relaxation period

d. All myogram stages are affected
