Changes in membrane potential serve as signals to cells within the body – and can often be a drug target in the treatment of many diseases. However, membrane potential is also the target of many toxins that disrupt various cellular processes. Lethal injections, for example, commonly follow a three-step procedure: the first drug is a sedative, the second drug causes muscle paralysis, and the third drug, the one that actually kills, is potassium chloride. What happens to membrane potential when potassium is injected at this very high concentration?
