Abstract
- The measurements performed on human subjects by means of radioactive tracers prove the existence of an ergodic linear relationship, which relates the ratio (Co/Mo) of the granulocytes Co in the circulating pool divided by the marginated granulocytes Mo, versus the circulating granulocytes Co. A constraint among the parameters of the granulocyte system, which was previously anticipated on a pure electrochemical basis, is quantitatively evaluated. The ergodicity gives also a constant ratio between the limiting values of the granulocyte margination and demargination rates of different subjects. The latter result suggests that a new electrochemical constraint should exist which expresses the ratio between the maximum rates at which the margination and demargination processes may occur.
