Effects of heat and cold exposure and exercise on the interstitial fluid proteins of the rat.
1. Interstitial fluid (obtained from capsules implanted subcutaneously) and plasma were obtained from rats before and after heat and cold exposure and exercise. 2. In the case of plasma, cold and heat exposure and exercise decreased A/G ratios. Albumin concentrations also decreased after heat and cold and protein concentration increased after exercise. 3. Cold decreased interstitial protein and albumin concentrations and A/G ratios. Heat exposure increased protein concentration and decreased the A/G ratio. Exercise decreased decreased protein concentrations. 4. The results are discussed in relation to previous findings.
