title: Experience with a commercial preparation of 125I-labelled human albumin for study of albumin metabolism.
abstract: Evaluation of a commercial preparation of (125)I-labelled albumin for use in the study of albumin metabolism is described. In eight subjects with normal albumin metabolism the proportion of the dose of radioiodide excreted was stable throughout a period of 17 days, indicating that there was no excessive denaturation of the iodinated albumin. Characteristics of albumin metabolism-pool sizes, catabolic rate, etc-were in agreement with currently accepted normal values. It is concluded that this preparation of iodinated albumin is suitable for metabolic use.
