Muscle membrane potentials in episodic adynamia

OD Creutzfeldt, BC Abbott, WM Fowler… - Electroencephalography …, 1963 - Elsevier
1. In vivo measurements of membrane potentials of human muscles (M. vastus med,; nerve
block anaesthesia) have been performed in a healthy young man, a patient with periodic
paralysis and a patient with episodic Adynamia (eA) Control measurements were performed
in rats. 2. 2. The resting potentials of striated muscles of rats under general anaesthesia
were− 79.9±73.3 mV. In the healthy man (without general anaesthesia) the mean value
was− 87.4±8.9 mV and in the patient with periodic paralysis it was− 85.6±6.1 mV in a free …
