The hypothesis about system of bioelectrical regulation of life activities by single parameter was proposed at the beginning of our century. To check this hypothesis at cellular level the simultaneous research of average values of membrane potential (MP) and regulatory capacities of erythrocytes and lymphocytes of mice at two different levels of life activities of organisms (mice without diseases and mice, in organisms of which inflammatory process develops) was carried out. It was shown, that average values of MP of these cells, as far as their regulatory capacities under hypotonic conditions, were different at the different levels of life activities of mice, but were similar for erythrocytes and lymphocytes at each tested level. The identical behaviours of the cells of two populations in spite of functions they fulfil in organism convince, that the hypothesis about system of bioelectrical regulation of life activities by single parameter (i.e. MP) may be true.
