چکیده

1. Calculations from the Fick diffusion law are shown to predict that membrane equilibria should be established during the course of ultrafiltration. 2. It is shown that the chloride ion is more concentrated and the sodium ion less concentrated in the ultrafiltrate than in the plasma from which the ultrafiltrate was derived. 3. It has been found that by increasing the base bound by protein through a reduction in the bicarbonate content the difference between the plasma concentration and the ultrafiltrate concentration for the several ions studied increases. 4. Calculations from the Donnan equation as to the magnitude of the change in base bound by protein at differing hydrogen ion concentrations are in substantial agreement with the observed values, thus rendering it probable that the membrane equilibrium effect is responsible for the change in distribution ratios observed. 5. It is pointed out that the observed difference in the distribution ratio of cations from that of the chloride anion is probably to be explained by the influence of protein in lowering the activity coefficient of cations when on the alkaline side of the isoelectric point. 6. It is pointed out that account must be taken of these observations in any consideration of the rôle of ultrafiltration in the production of any secretion or body fluid.

The effect of dialysates and ultrafiltrates of plasma of saline-loaded dogs on toad bladder sodium transport.

In order to obtain direct evidence for the existence of a natriuretic hormone, dialysates and ultrafiltrates of plasma of dogs expanded with saline were tested for effects on sodium transport by the toad urinary bladder. Dialysate was obtained by dialysis of blood in vivo in a clinical dialyzer and by dialysis in vitro of small volumes of blood using a miniature model of the clinical dialyzer. ...

Insulin antagonist of pituitary origin in plasma of normal and diabetic subjects.

Studies on ultrafiltrates of the plasma of normal and diabetic subjects have shown that a polypeptide of similar characteristics to the growth-hormone-derived polypeptide In-G is present in higher concentrations in diabetic subjects, thus indicating a possible role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. The polypeptide is absent from the plasma of hypophysectomized diabetic patients.

The Transport and Excretion of Uric Acid in Man. I. True Uric Acid in Normal Cerebrospinal Fluid, in Plasma, and in Ultrafiltrates of Plasma

Human cerebrospinal fluid has been reported to contain a relatively small concentration of uric acid compared to that of plasma (cf. Table II). However, it is not known what proportion of these reported uric acid values is due to chromogenic substances similar to those giving the color reaction for uric acid in plasma (1). The introduction of enzymatic methods for determining uric acid specific...

Association of oxidative status and semen characteristics with seminal plasma proteins of buffalo semen

To study the influence of season on oxidative status of buffalo semen and their association with semen characteristics and seminal plasma proteins, ejaculates were collected twice a week in winter, summer and rainy seasons from six adult Bhadawari buffalo bulls. The neat semen was analyzed for semen characteristics immediately after collection and oxidative status viz. lipid peroxidation (LPO),...
