Casein Digests Parenterally Utilized to Form Blood Plasma Protein
نویسندگان
چکیده
When blood plasma proteins are depleted by bleeding with return of the washed red cells (plasmapheresis) it is possible to bring dogs to a steady state of hypoproteinemia and a uniform plasma protein production on a basal diet limited in protein. Such dogs are clinically normal but have a lowered resistance to infection and certain intoxications. Casein digests given by vein or subcutaneously to such plasma depleted dogs are effective in promoting abundant new plasma protein production. Casein digest L by vein is equivalent to whole liver of like protein equivalence by mouth. The ratio of new plasma protein production to protein intake is 20 to 25 per cent in both instances. Casein digest L by vein gives the same response in plasma protein output as the same digest by mouth. Protein digest X by vein requires addition of tryptophane and cysteine to be effective in plasma protein production. The added cysteine sulfur is more than 95 per cent retained by the dog. The speed of digest injection has no effect on its utilization, within the range tested. Casein digest L given by vein to non-depleted dogs is less well utilized than in dogs depleted of plasma protein.

Hemoglobin and Plasma Protein
Given healthy dogs, fed abundant iron and protein-free or low protein diets, with sustained anemia due to bleeding, we can study the capacity of these animals to produce simultaneously new hemoglobin and plasma protein. The reserve stores of blood protein producing materials in this way are very largely depleted, and levels of 6 to 8 gm. per cent for hemoglobin and 4 to 5 gm. per cent for plasm...

When blood plasma proteins are depleted by bleeding with return of red cells suspended in saline (plasmapheresis) it is possible to bring dogs to a steady state of hypoproteinemia and a constant level of plasma protein production if the diet nitrogen intake is controlled and limited. Such dogs are outwardly normal but have a lowered resistance to infection and to certain intoxications. The ten ...

متن کاملDog Plasma Protein given by Vein Utilized in Body Metabolism of Dog
Foreign plasma protein (horse) introduced parenterally into the protein fasting dog is not utilized in the body economy. Its fate appears to be disintegration and elimination as excess urinary nitrogen. This is totally different from the fate of dog plasma protein under similar conditions. Dog hemoglobin given parenterally to the protein fasting dog is not utilized as is dog plasma protein to k...
متن کاملThe Metabolism of Amino Acids and Casein Digest in Phlorhizinized Dogs
When solutions of sugar-forming amino acids are given parenterally or orally to phlorhizinized dogs, extra sugar and nitrogen are excreted in the urine. The route of administration does not influence the way in which the amino acids are metabolized. 89 percent of the expected sugar was recovered when the acids were fed and 81 per cent when the acids were administered parenterally. Casein digest...
