Galactose, having the common carrier system of aldoses, enters erythrocytes from the medium in exchange for glucose and temporarily reaches higher levels (apparent steady state), than its concentration in the medium. The apparent steady states in fresh and stored human erythrocytes of donors of a certain age range were studied. Decreased values of galactose in the apparent steady state were observed in erythrocytes after 14 days of storage.
