SECOND-KIND PHASE TRANSITION IN HUMAN LYMPHOCYTES MEMBRANE STRUCTURES UNDER EXTREME GAS COLD EXPOSURE
Abstract
A thermodynamic analysis of the after-effects of low temperatures on the structural characteristics of membranes of peripheral blood lymphocytes of human was made. Structure changes in membranes are outlined using the theory of secondkind phase transitions. Based on the analysis made, the trend in raising the immunological status of the body of athletes after a whole-body cryotherapy course is explained from the viewpoint of decreasing a value of Young’s modulus of peripheral blood lymphocytes, reducing the microviscosity of annular lipid of peripheral blood and of occurring processes similar to second-kind phase transitions in plasmic membranes of lymphocytes.
