Abstract
Plasma proteins are synthesized in the liver out of amino acids absorbed into the blood from the intestinal tract. When the rest of the body demands protein the plasma provides it. Plasma protein "can be recast into specific cell protein without loss of N." Part of the cell proteins can be depleted without apparent injury to the body. The maximum and minimum limits of the reserve stores are an individual characteristic of each organ, tissue, and fluid, and are detd. by factors not yet understood.
