Tetrоdоtоxin (TTX) is а very powerful toxin, found, аmong others, in the puffer fish Tаkifugu obscurus. The actual source of the toxin is the symbiotic with the fish bacteria of the genus Aeromonas. The fish uses the toxin as a defense mechanism against predation. This toxin selectively blocks voltage-gated Na+ channels in the neuron, but not the ligand-gated ones. The interaction of TTX with the ion channels seems to be stoichiometric, with one TTX molecule binding to one ion channel. If someone comes to contact with TTX, for instance by ingestion of puffer fish, symptoms include paresthesia of the lips, followed by paresthesia of the extremities, weakness, lythargy, paralysis, and seizures, among others. Paralysis increases, and convulsions, mental impairment, and cardiac arrhythmia may occur. The victim, although completely paralyzed, may be conscious and in some cases completely lucid until shortly before death, which generally occurs within 4 to 6 hours (range ~20 minutes to ~8 hours). However, some victims enter a coma. Death is usually secondary to respiratory failure. Among other effects, TTX causes a loss of vagal regulation of the heart (vagal regulation is the contribution of the parasympathetic system to the regulation of the heart rate). Thinking solely about the effects of TTX on the vagal tone (ignore all effects it may have on other nerves,the cardiac and respiratory muscles, etc.), what would you expect to happen to a person’s heart rate, if they ate fugu, a traditional Japanese puffer fish delicacy that was not prepared by a licensed chef, and had TTX traces?
