Abstract
A mathematical model is Proposed for describing the kinetics of change s in the state of C40-carotinoids under rhytmic excitation of the nerv e and changes of the membrane potential. The model includes cooperativ e and Koulon interactions of carotinoid molecules with Na+, K+, Ca2+, H+. Changes in the state of the carotinoid molecule after rhythmic exc itation may be described by the restoration of the membrane potential and functioning of electrogenic Na+, K+-ATPase.
