Membrane Potential Summary
529 words, approx. 2 pages
Every neuron has a separation of electrical charge across its cell membrane, and the membrane potential results from a separation of positive and negative. The relative excess of positive charges outside and negative charges inside the membrane of a...

Membrane Potential Summary
252 words, approx. 1 pages
Certain cells within the nervous system are called "excitable cells." Surrounding each of these cells is a highly complex, semipermeable membrane, an insulating barrier which separates fluids inside the cell from fluids outside. In the quiet state,...

Membrane potential Information
3,639 words, approx. 12 pages
Membrane potential (or transmembrane potential or transmembrane potential difference or transmembrane potential gradient), is the electrical potential difference (voltage) across a cell's plasma membrane. The plasma membrane bounds the cell to provide a...

Model of the outer membrane potential generation by the inner membrane of mitochondria
02/01/2002: 1,679 words, approx. 6 pages
ABSTRACT Voltage-dependent anion channels in the outer mitochondrial membrane are strongly regulated by electrical potential. In this work, one of the possible mechanisms of the outer membrane potential generation is proposed. We suggest that the inner membrane potential may be divided on two resistances...

Cholesterol Effect on the Dipole Potential of Lipid Membranes
06/01/2006: 8,431 words, approx. 28 pages
ABSTRACT The effect of cholesterol removal by methyl-β-cyclodextrin on the dipole potential, ψ^sub d^, of membrane vesicles composed of natural membrane lipids extracted from the kidney and brain of eight vertebrate species was investigated using the voltage-sensitive fluorescent probe di-8-ANEPPS. Cyclodextrin treatment reduced...
