A PHYSICAL THEORY OF ACID ANION DISPLACEMENT AND RECOVERY FOLLOWING EXERCISE.
A simple theoretical model has been presented whose behavior duplicates the variation in bicarbonate ion concentration in the blood following exercise. Methods for the evaluation of the constants of rational equations to describe the concentration in muscle cells, in blood plasma, and in removal cells, of the anions produced in exercise have been devised. These methods have been applied to experimental data from 23 experiments, and a close agreement between the observed and theoretically predicted values for blood plasma has been found. From the mathematical analysis of the data values for permeability of acid anions produced in exercise have been estimated as 75 x 10(-5) and 5.9 x 10(-5) cm. per sec. between muscle cell and blood (extracellular fluid) and between blood plasma and removal cells respectively.
