[The mechanism of plasma protein release from skeletal muscles].

In anesthetized dogs with an open drainage of thoracic lymph duct, the resorption of the human plasma's 131-iodine-albumin from intercellular space of the hind-limb muscles in passive movements was performed by lymphatic system alone. The resorption was due to the gradients of hydrostatic pressure and concentration, to changes in the tissue pressure and to physiological shifts of the tissues.
