Abstract
In this paper we show that Onsager-Machlup time-reversal properties of thermodynamic fluctuations and Onsager reciprocity relations for tran sport coefficients can hold also if the microscopic dynamics is not re versible. This result is based on the explicit construction of models which can be analyzed rigorously.
