Notes:
Experimental measurements were made of the steady oxygen permeation rate through films of nonreactive and reactive dispersions, including suspensions of red blood cells. The data compare well with a theoretical analysis which incorporates a one-step reversible reaction within the dispersed phase. In the absence of reaction, the red cell permeability could be treated as that of a concentrated hemoglobin solution. For reactive suspensions of red cells or water-in-oil emulsions containing hemoglobin at 25°C, substantial facilitation of oxygen transport occurred when oxyhemoglobin gradients were steep, but both the data and the theory exhibited considerably less facilitation than would be suggested by an equilibrium analysis.
