Repolarization occurs because multiple choice potassium ions continue to diffuse out of the cell after the inactivation gates of the voltage-gated sodium ion channels begin to close. the extra efflux of potassium ions causes the membrane potential to become slightly more positive than the resting value. the increased potassium ion permeability lasts slightly longer than the time required to bring the membrane potential back to its resting level. more sodium ions diffuse into the cell than potassium ions diffuse out of it. the inactivation gates of the voltage-gated sodium ion channels begin to open and the diffusion of sodium ions decreases.

Based on the observations provided, what is the relationship of current diabetes medication use and the use of extract from ginko biloba? a) the anti-inflammatory properties of ginko biloba extract are beneficial in treating t2d separate from the benefits of other therapies. b) the overall abundance of ginko biloba makes this extract an attractive joint therapy for existing medications that are used to treat t2d. c) the side effects of t2d medications have resulted in the need for different therapies to treat t2d like the use of ginko biloba extract. d) clinical outcomes from the use of current t2d medications may be improved through the use of cost-effective ginko biloba extract treatment. e) previous studies with ginko biloba and current t2d medications do not support the use of these treatments as effective against t2d in patients.
