Methods for measuring rates of synthesis of albumin by the isolated perfused rat liver

The effects of amino acids on albumin synthesis by the isolated perfused rat liver.

Albumin synthesis was measured in the isolated perfused rat liver by using the livers of both well-fed and starved rats. Starvation markedly decreased albumin synthesis. The livers from starved rats were unable to increase synthesis rates after the addition to the perfusates of single amino acids or the addition of both glucagon and tryptophan. Arginine, asparagine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine,...

Synthesis of clotting factors by the isolated perfused rat liver.

Synthesis of fibronectin by the isolated perfused rat liver.

The major site(s) of synthesis of plasma fibronectin is unknown. Using the isolated perfused rat liver and anti-rat fibronectin antiserum, we have measured net hepatic synthesis of fibronectin during 10-hr perfusion periods. We calculated the circulating plasma fibronectin pool of a 195-g rat with body surface area of 300 sq cm to be 3.3 mg: net hepatic synthesis of 3.75 +/- 1.0 mg/300 sq cm bo...

SEQUESTRATION OF LEUKOCYTES BY THE ISOLATED PERFUSED RAT LUNG

The sequestration of rat leukocytes and bone marrow cells by the lung vasculature was studied using an isolated perfused rat lung preparation. The passage of latex particles of 7.6 µm in diameter and non-hematopoietic cells through the lung blood vessels was also studied. Leukocytes and bone marrow cells were reversibly sequestered from circulation, whereas, latex particles and non-hematop...
