How would antibodies against nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) affect the influx of sodium (Na+) into a skeletal muscle cell?  Group of answer choices These antibodies would target nAChRs for destruction leading to lower sodium influx in muscle cells. These antibodies would target nAChRs, changing their shape to allow calcium instead of sodium through. These antibodies would target nAChRs, changing their shape to allow only potassium through. These antibodies would target nAChRs aiding acetylcholine in its binding to receptors, leading to increased sodium influx in muscle cells.  pick one answer
