Ciprofloxacin is an antibacterial prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment and prevention of certain bacterial infections, including: Urinary tract infections. Lower respiratory tract infections.
In neurophysiology Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative. It is the opposite of a depolarization.Hyperpolarization is often caused by efflux of K+ (a cation) through K+ channels, or influx of Clâ (an anion) through Clâ channels. On the other hand, influx of cations, e.g. Na+ through Na+ channels or Ca2+ through Ca2+ channels, inhibits hyperpolarization.t is the opposite of a depolarization.

Both processes are now reasonably well understood. Hyperpolarization by light is caused by the shutting off of a flow of ions. In darkness, part of the receptor membrane is more permeable than the rest of the membrane to sodium ions. Consequently, sodium ions continually flow into the cell there, and potassium ions flow out elsewhere.
