Abstract
A review of the practical, mathematical basis for the interpretation of the behavior of tracers and an examination of the applications made in transfer rate studies. Related studies of uptakes, volumes of distribution and metabolic paths are not considered. The references document and illustrate the methods of mathematical analysis rather than the physiological implications.This publication has 42 references indexed in Scilit:
