| Comments |
"Silverman and colleagues reported studies on 18O exchange of rat red cell suspensions in a series of stimulating papers from 1974 to 1981 (refs 5, 13–14 and primary source). Their final conclusion was that diffusion resistance across the red cell membrane, rather than the intracellular CA [carbonic anhydrase] activity rate, limited CO2 exchange. The value of Pm,CO2 that they obtained in rat red cells was 0.0075 cm/sec (primary source), at least two orders of magnitude less than the approximate value for normal human red cells [BNID 110615] in Table 1, [Table - link ]." |
