Results Of the three nicotinic receptor agonists tested, [3H]cytisine displayed the highest affinity for the neu- ronal nicotinic receptor (Table 1). It had a significantly higher affinity of 0.145 + 0.011 nM (P < 0.05, Fig. 1A) as compared to KD values of 0.89 + 0.06 and 1.07 _+ 0.13 nM for [3H]nicotine (Fig.
H2 receptor blockersâalso known as Histamine receptor antagonists (H2RAs)âremain a powerful weapon against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Antacids such as Maalox, Mylanta, and Tums may provide temporary relief of chronic acid reflux, but they donât allow an esophagus battered by stomach acid time to heal.2 receptor blockersâalso known as Histamine receptor antagonists (H2RAs)âremain a powerful weapon against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
