The stationary membrane potential, being the most important electric rest potential, is studied with temperature gradients being taken into account. The temperature and concentration dependences of electric membrane potential are examined for non-isothermal conditions. The dependence of electric rest potential on temperature gradient and thermodiffusion characteristics is analyzed. Numerical values of thermodiffusion effects on electric membrane rest potentials are evaluated.
