We tested whether the kinetics of systemic O2 delivery (Q̇aO2) at exercise start was faster than that of lung O2 uptake (V̇o2), being dictated by that of cardiac output (Q̇), and whether changes in Q̇ would explain the postulated rapid phase of the V̇o2 increase. Simultaneous determinations of beat-by-beat (BBB) Q̇ and Q̇aO2, and breath-by-breath V̇o2 at the onset of constant load exercises at 50 and 100 W were obtained on six men (age 24.2 ± 3.2 years, maximal aerobic power 333 ± 61 W). V̇o2 was determined using Grønlund's algorithm. Q̇ was computed from BBB stroke volume (Qst, from arterial pulse pressure profiles) and heart rate ( fh, electrocardiograpy) and calibrated against a steady-state method. This, along with the time course of hemoglobin concentration and arterial O2 saturation (infrared oximetry) allowed computation of BBB Q̇aO2. The Q̇, Q̇aO2 and V̇o2 kinetics were analyzed with single and double exponential models. fh, Qst, Q̇, and V̇o2 increased upon exercise onset to reach a new steady state. The kinetics of Q̇aO2 had the same time constants as that of Q̇. The latter was twofold faster than that of V̇o2. The V̇o2 kinetics were faster than previously reported for muscle phosphocreatine decrease. Within a two-phase model, because of the Fick equation, the amplitude of phase I Q̇ changes fully explained the phase I of V̇o2 increase. We suggest that in unsteady states, lung V̇o2 is dissociated from muscle O2 consumption. The two components of Q̇ and Q̇aO2 kinetics may reflect vagal withdrawal and sympathetic activation.

The distribution kinetics of 35 2-furylethylene derivatives in two-phase system 1-octanol-water was investigated. The transport rate parameters in direction water-1-octanol (l1) and backwards (l2) are partition coefficient P = l1/l2 dependent according to equations l1 = logP - log(βP + 1) + const., l2 = -log(βP + 1) + const., const. = -5.600, β = 0.261. Importance of this finding for assesment of distribution of compounds under investigation in biosystems and also the suitability of the presented method for determination of partition coefficients are discussed.

Zero-trans kinetics of Na+-sugar cotransport were investigated. Sugar influx was measured at various sodium and sugar concentrations in K+-loaded cells treated with rotenone and valinomycin. Sugar influx follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics as a function of sugar concentration but not as a function of Na+ concentration. Nine models with 1:1 or 2:1 sodium:sugar stoichiometry were considered. The flux equations for these models were solved assuming steady-state distribution of carrier forms and that translocation across the membrane is rate limiting. Classical enzyme kinetic methods and a least-squares fit of flux equations to the experimental data were used to assess the fit of the different models. Four models can be discarded on this basis. Of the remaining models, we discard two on the basis of the trans sodium dependence and the coupling stoichiometry [G. A. Kimmich and J. Randles, Am. J. Physiol. 247 (Cell Physiol. 16): C74-C82, 1984]. The remaining models are terter ordered mechanisms with sodium debinding first at the trans side. If transfer across the membrane is rate limiting, the binding order can be determined to be sodium:sugar:sodium.
