ABSTRACT IN the course of investigations on the kinetics of lysis of red blood cells by saponin and other hæmolytic agents, we have studied the effect of the addition of small amounts of

various odorants. We describe below the unusual powers such adjuvants have in accelerating the process of hæmolysis. Somewhat remarkably, the activities of the odorants in this respect are

paralleled by their activities in stimulating the olfactory cell membrane. This finding lends support to a theory of olfactory stimulation1 which envisages ‘puncturing’ of the olfactory cell

membrane by the odorant molecules. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your
