Intra- and extracellular markers in interstitial transudate of perfused rat hearts [PDF]
The interstitial transudate was investigated in isolated perfused rat hearts. Capillary permeability and the kinetics of interstitial uptake and release were characterized using four different marker molecules (mol wt 522 to 2 X 10(6)).
