Abstract

1. 1. The initial velocity of zero-trans efflux of glucose and the equilibrium exchange initial velocity of glucose have been measured in human red blood cells over the temperature range 5-45 °C. 2. 2. Activation energies were calculated and found to be 18.0 ± 0.9 kcal/mole per °K for the zero-trans and 16.3 ± 0.9 kcal/mole per °K for the equilibrium exchange process (± S.D.). 3. 3. These findings are shown to be compatible with the tetramer model for sugar transport in erythrocytes.
