Abstract

Aim: This study was investigated to evaluate the level of membrane potential in stroke patients in Owerri.

Material and method:   60 stroke patients and 60 apparently healthy subjects between the ages of 60 to 80years admitted to General Hospital Owerri were selected in this study. Fasting veinous blood was collected and was used for the determination of membrane potential .

Results: The results obtained revealed that the level of membrane potential was significantly decreased in stroke patients when compared with the control at P<0.05.

Conclusion: This could probably imply depolarization of cell membrane potential leading to              reduced cell activity.
