The dependence of the respiration of brain cortex on active cation transport

Abstract

Therefore when t > 2i hr., each 1-exp [-bt] term in equation for X4 is equal to 1, bt or 0. At least one 1-exp [-bt] term is equal to 1 and at last one 1-exp [-bt] term = bt. Therefore if b2 K34, both 1-exp [-b2t] and 1-exp [-K34t] are equal to 1. The only alternative is for b3 > K1(4 or K34 > b2. If b2 > K34 the intercept is negative, and if K34 > b2 the slope is zero, and so neither of these alternatives is possible.
