Periodic paralysis is a group of muscle diseases that are related to transmembrane ion channels. Dysfunction of these channels causes an increase in sodium-potassium (Na-K) adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activity that pushes potassium into the cells that result in serum hypokalemia that manifests as muscle weakness. Beta-adrenergic stimulation and insulin sensitivity might also play a role.
