A new outlook on body fluid viscosity and cell function: concluding remarks and discussion.
The area neglected so far in the fields of clinical and theoretical haemorheology is that of interaction between viscosity and chemical reactions in the cells. The reintroduction of teinochemical principle opens entirely new doors for investigation both in vitro and in vivo. Effect of extracellular fluid viscosity on synthesis (i.e. lipids) and on possible enzymatic and catalytic functions influences our opinion that haemorheology has to go back to fundamentals.
