Preserved motor axonal membrane potential in mitochondrial disease.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial disorders are characterised by protean neurological manifestations including peripheral neuropathy. The neuropathy is typically an axonal process, with a proposed mechanism being degradation of the membrane potential of the axon due to dysfunction of energy-dependent Na(+)/K(+) ATPase pump. To address this issue, we studied the excitability of motor axons in the median nerve in 16 individuals...
