Tetrodotoxin inhibits TTX-s Na + channels at concentrations of around 1–10 nM, [28] whereas micromolar concentrations of tetrodotoxin are required to inhibit TTX-r Na + channels. [29] Nerve cells containing TTX-r Na + channels are located primarily in cardiac tissue, while nerve cells containing TTX-s Na + channels dominate the rest of the body.
