| Abstract |
The principal osmotic constituents of plasma and of muscle before and after ultracentrifugation have been determined. By analysing the muscle fluid and centrifuged muscle and determining their extracellular fluid (inulin space), ion-binding in the cells was estimated at Na 26%, K 0.3%, Ca 93%, Mg 24%, Cl 21% and P 10%. Muscle fluid was 4.9% (2.7-7.4%) hyperosmotic to plasma. This is discussed in relation to calculated osmolality of muscle and plasma. |
