TY - JOUR AB - <p>Colloid molecules injected into the tissues are absorbed both by lymphatic and blood capillaries. In dogs with cannulated thoracic duct, 94% of I<sup>131</sup>-albumin injected into the renal cortex was recovered within 1 min in renal venous blood, after <em>5 </em>min, 90% of Cr<sup>51</sup> labelled blood corpuscles was found in circulating blood. In 6 hours, 5.4 ± 1. 7% of albumin and 11.1 ± 1.5 of Au<sup>198</sup> -colloid, (diam. 300-700 Å) injected into the myocardium is transported by the lymphatics, 35% of the albumin was found in circulating plasma and 8.6 ± 1.2 of the gold colloid was recovered in plasma and liver. From the pancreas, 7.2 ± 2.0% of the albumin and 7.0 ± 0.5% pf the gold colloid was transported by the lymphatics, and 12.3% (albumin} and 1.2 ± 0.4% (Au <sup>198-</sup>coIL) by blood capillaries. Lymphatic transport of the gold colloid from the intestinal wall was 15.9 ± 1.9% recovery in liver and plasma 1.4 ± 0.8%. From contracting skeletal muscle, lymphatic transport of albumin was 40.1 ± 3.5% and of gold colloid 4.6 ± 0.72%. Recovery of albumin in circulating plasma was 3.7% of gold colloid in plasma and liver 0.5 ± 0.1%. From the subcutis, 21.6 ± 6.2% of albumin is transported by lymphatics, 11% by blood capillaries. Tissue pressure increased during injection but preinjection values were reestablished within 2 to <em>5 </em>minutes. Accordingly, tissue pressure changes do not play a dominant role in colloid absorption.</p> AU - G Szabo, Z Magyar, G Molnar DA - 1973/9// IS - 2 VL - 6 PB - International Society of Lymphology and the University of Arizona Libraries PY - 1973 TI - LYMPHATIC AND VENOUS TRANSPORT OF COLLOIDS FROM THE TISSUES T2 - Lymphology UR - http://journals.librarypublishing.arizona.edu/lymph/article/id/4472/ ER -
