Metabolism and transcapillary escape rate of albumin in acromegaly

Rossing, N., Parving, H. H., Korsgaard, O.·1974·Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation

Abstract

Albumin metabolism was studied with 131 I-labeled albumin in 6 patients with acromegaly and raised plasma levels of growth hormone. The objective was to see whether the rate of albumin synthesis was increased, as animal experiments may suggest. The fractional catabolic rate of albumin (i.e. fraction of intravascular albumin mass catabolized per unit time) was increased by 64 % (form 8.5 to 13.8 % per 24 h), and the rate of synthesis must have been increased to the same extent, since the intravascular albumin mass was quite normal. Plasma albumin concentration and the intravascular and total masses were normal. The transcapillary escape rate, i.e. the fraction of the intravascular mass passing extravascularly per unit time, was increased on an average 40% above normal levels. It is concluded that growth hormone acts primarily by increasing albumin production.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
