Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The kinetic parameters of D2O intake in the frog sciatic nerve are obtained by means of infrared spectroscopy. 3 aqueous compartments: a non-exchangeable one (≈29%) and 2 compartments of quasi-free exchangeable water: ≈50% intracellular and ≈21% extracellular, are revealed.
