Plasma Protein, Symposia on Nutrition of the Robert Gould Research Foundation

This volume contains 17 separate papers or chapters reporting results of original research and discussions by recognized authorities on all important aspects of the plasma protein problem. Some of the topics discussed which are of special interest to the clinician are those relating to (1) the fractionation and properties of normal human plasma proteins, (2) plasma protein formation in health and in various disease states, (3) effects of various types of diet on plasma protein fabrication, (4) the fate of intravenously administered human plasma proteins in health, in idiopathic hypoproteinemia and in osteoporosis, (5) the mechanism of edema formation in relationship to hypoproteinemia, (6) the relationship of protein metabolism to resistance to infection, (7) the influence of the adrenal cortex on plasma protein formation and utilization and (8) the quantitative immunochemical data concerning antibody-containing serum fractions obtained by salt precipitation, alcohol precipitation or delipidation. A new approach to certain obscure metabolic disorders may, in the opinion of the reviewer, grow out of studies on amino acid antagonists discussed in the Symposium by one author.
