Abstract
Conclusions 1. A reciprocal relationship has been shown to exist between the carbon dioxide combining power of the blood and the concentration of total fat in the blood serum. 2. Changes in serum fat content produced by altering the acid-base balance are not accompanied by changes in the fat content of the whole blood, within the duration of our acute experiments. 3. The changes in serum fat are therefore the result of a shift of fat between the red blood cells and the blood plasma. 4. The significance of serum and whole blood lipemias as regards fat transport, is discussed.Keywords
