Individual rate constants for fluxes between pools presented in the model in Figure 1. Flux 1 indicates FC flux out of V1; Flux 3, CE flux (V3); Flux 2, flux from V2 (RBC FC) to V1; k(0,1), flux rate out of V1; k(0,3), flux rate out of V3; k(1,2), flux rate from V2 into V1; and k(2,1), flux rate from V1 to V2.
