Abstract
The effect of adrenalin, acetylcholine, histamine, thrombin, heparin, fibrinogen, and ADP on the electrokinetic potential of human and canine erythrocytes was studied. Heparin increases the ζ-potential and the other substances reduce it. The mechanisms of action of these substances on the electrokinetic properties of the erythrocyte membrane are discussed.
