title: Diffusion of oxygen in plasma and blood.
abstract: D in fresh human plasma has been found to decrease almost linearly with total protein content over a wide range of concentration and to vary only +/-4% in normals and +/-13% in abnormals. The average values for D in normal human plasma, at 25 and 37 degrees C, are 1.62 and 2.18 X 10(-5) cm2/sec respectively. For normal human blood at 42% hematocrit, the values of D, at 25 and 37 degrees C, are 1.20 and 1.62 X 10(-5) cm2/sec respectively.
