Regional lymph flow in unanesthetized rabbits. 1979

A Bill

Determinations were made of the 2-hour 22Na space and the 1 and 2 hour 51Cr EDTA spaces in a number of tissues. In regions where the two 51Cr-EDTA spaces were similar and smaller than or similar to the 22Na space the former spaces were regarded as measures of the extra-cellular volume. Using previously published data for plasma volumes, extravascular plasma-equivalent albumin and IgG spaces and the turnover rate constants for the extravascular proteins, it was possible to calculate extravascular protein concentrations and rates of net filtration from the capillaries or lymph flow in some tissues. The albumin concentrations, probably underestimated, were about 40% of the plasma concentrations in small intestine, lung and skeletal muscle, higher in heart muscle and lower in stomach wall. The net filtration or lymph flow, probably overestimated, was 0.81, 1.5, 0.53, 0.61 and 0.12 microliters/min per g in heart muscle, small intestine, lung, stomach wall and skeletal muscle, respectively.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002199 Capillary Permeability The property of blood capillary ENDOTHELIUM that allows for the selective exchange of substances between the blood and surrounding tissues and through membranous barriers such as the BLOOD-AIR BARRIER; BLOOD-AQUEOUS BARRIER; BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER; BLOOD-NERVE BARRIER; BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER; and BLOOD-TESTIS BARRIER. Small lipid-soluble molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen move freely by diffusion. Water and water-soluble molecules cannot pass through the endothelial walls and are dependent on microscopic pores. These pores show narrow areas (TIGHT JUNCTIONS) which may limit large molecule movement.
