1. The inulin content of plasma and urine has been followed for 24 to 48 hours after a single injection in a number of adults.
2. Successive inulin clearances during this period show a marked fall.
3. Reasons are given for considering delay or incomplete recovery of urine as relatively minor importance in causing the fall.
4. As probable causes of the fall, tubular reabsorption and inhomogeneity of the inulin are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
