1. The rate of uptake of radioactive phosphate ions by human erythrocytes is a variable. It varies from individual to individual and in the same individual from day to day. This change seems not to be a function of food intake.
2. Sodium barbital decreases the rate of uptake of radioactive phosphate ions by the red blood cell. Certain quantitative conclusions were derived from experiments covering a large number of individual blood donors.
3. Ether has a retarding effect. Methadon (in very dilute solution) and urethane do not change the rate of uptake of phosphate ions by the red blood cell.
