Effects of Fat Meals and Heparin on Blood Plasma Composition as Shown by Paper Chromatography.

Abstract

Changes in the plasma protein patterns of dogs after high fat meals, and after the intraven. admn. of heparin or Tween 81, were demonstrated using the paper chromatographic technic of Franklin and Quastel. Concurrent reductions in the hematocrit, and changes in the sedimentation rate were observed after these procedures. The chylomicron counts were decreased after intraven. heparin. The evidence indicates that the surface active substances present in the blood are modified after the above admns., thus affecting the protein patterns of the paper chromatograms.
