Numerical simulations of water molecule translocation are presented. The molecules execute random walks in a 3D ensemble of digital cells with density and size pertinent for biological tissue. The mean net displacements reflect “hindered” or “restricted” translocations for both extra- and intracellular water, characterized by an infinite number of exponentials. The hindrance is very sensitive to the cell membrane permeability, in the range for tissue – and controlled by active cell metabolism.
