ABSTRACT In a previous work, Human Experimental Bioenergetics, the authors reported on the experimental discovery of an electron bioplasma. They then put forth a series of interconnected hypotheses regarding how bioplasma formation and re-energization is gated by the electron transport chain (ETC) component of aerobic catabolism. Following the publication of the book's second edition, the authors concluded that these analytical proposals could be further developed to include biochemical and biophysical details that at the time were left unaddressed. The present paper focuses on these details, such as they concern how aerobic metabolism gates bioplasma formation and re-energization, and controls the production of electromagnetic heat in the mitochondria of the human body. Bioplasma currents are differentiated from other biological electron currents - namely, the ETC flux and the biochemical flux that is stocked up in ATP production. The analysis indicates the existence of two main classes of free electrons in the aqueous phase of the body - modal electrons of state, to which bioplasma electrons belong, and supramodal chemically-active electrons, to which ETC electrons belong. The authors close by briefly exploring the effects of hypoxia upon bioplasma formation. 1
