Abstract

Chronic inflammation and sepsis induced modifications of sodium channel properties that could contribute to muscular inexcitability. This inexcitability can be elicited by a modification of properties or type of voltage-gated sodium channels. Our results lead us to explain this inexcitability by an up-regulation of NaV 1.5 sodium channel.
