An enhancement in the rates of nuclear reactions in dense matter is approached through calculations of increments between the Coulombic chemical potentials before and after the reactions. The formalism is applied to specific cases of the p-p reactions in the solar interior and of the (12) C-(12) C reactions in a white-dwarf progenitor of a supernova; the dependence of the resultant enhancement factors on the relative abundances of the elements in the outgoing channels is thereby illustrated. The effects of plasma screening in the p-p reactions on the solar (8) B neutrinos are examined.
