Using intravenous saline as a control, the kinetics of insulin in protein hydrolysate (hyperalimentation) solutions in glass bottles with and without the addition of albumin were studied using double radioisotope tags. Albumin is not a necessary additive to the solution. A technique for providing constant, predictable delivery of insulin is described. Albumin, when added to hyperalimentation and saline solutions with insulin, does not protectively coat plastic tubing or glass bottle surfaces to prevent insulin adsorption; some other mechanism is responsible for the increased insulin concentrations in intravenous solutions with added albumin.

Albumin synthesis was measured, in vivo, in rats 16 hours after partial hepatectomy or after sham operation. When albumin synthesis was expressed in terms of whole body weight, partially hepatectomized rats synthesized significantly less than sham-operated rats. However, when albumin synthesis was expressed as a function of dry liver weight, the two groups synthesized similar amounts. Intragastric hyperalimentation with amino acids significantly increased albumin synthesis in partially hepatectomized rats.
