Translation

A friend has sent me her thesis, written in English, and asked if I wouldn't mind taking a look and pointing out any grammar problems. Here's a representative sentence:

Other studies have shown that histrionicotoxins block the ionic conductance, accelerate the inactivation of the nicotinic cholinoceptor (see Daly et al., 1993), diminish the ionic conductance on the voltage-gated sodium channels (see Daly et al., 1993) and inhibit the voltage-gated potassium channel (see Daly et al., 1993).

Unfortunately, I am having trouble translating this into any English, let alone good English. It's a bit of a blow to the ego to have to go to her and tell her I'm too stupid to help her out.
