Infusion of long-chain fatty acid anions by continuous-flow centrifugation.
We have developed a method for the rapid infusion into plasma of large amounts of long-chain free fatty acids (FFA). Unanesthetized dogs were connected by a peripheral artery to a closed, continuousflow centrifuge from which cells and plasma emerged in separate lines. Sodium oleate was infused directly into the plasma line before cells and plasma were recombined and returned to the animal through a peripheral vein.The centrifugation procedure itself produced only small changes in circulating levels of glucose, FFA, and electrolytes. Plasma flow rates as high as 100 ml/min could be maintained, and centrifugations of 12 hr were accomplished without complications. During centrifugation, sodium oleate was infused at rates up to 80 muEq/kg per min for 2.5 hr; the maximum molar ratio of FFA to albumin without hemolysis was 10:1. Plasma FFA levels rose rapidly after infusions were started and reached constant elevated levels within 15-20 min. Oleate infusion at 10-50 muEq/kg per min produced a rise in plasma FFA proportional to the infusion rate. The maximum increment in plasma FFA above control values was 1.66 muEq/ml. When infusions ended, plasma FFA declined rapidly to control levels. Oleate infusion at rates below 30 muEq/kg per min did not reduce levels of other plasma FFA. Infusion at high rates was accompanied by a marked fall in blood glucose. This method permits adminsitration of long-chain fatty acids in sufficient quantities to study their individual metabolic effects, and provides a new way to supply lipid calories parenterally.
