Abstract
IT was shown in the previous communication that the ‘threshold-concentration’ of ions of the lyotropic group which produce a rise in tension of the muscles in a vessel increases with increasing diameter of the lyotropic ion. Because this process also works in the absence of oxygen, we might assume that a discharge of protein ions takes place which causes a change of state. We presume that this change of state also produces a change in the visco-elastic behaviour.
