ABSTRACT
The multiple indicator dilution technique was used to investigate octanoate transport in the isolated, perfused rat liver. The form of the octanoate outflow profiles depends on albumin concentration. The steady-state intracellular octanoate concentration and the rate of uptake increase when the albumin concentration is decreased. At physiological albumin concentrations, the intracellular concentration of octanoate is only 7% of the extracellular concentration. Exchange between the intra-and extracellular space, however, is very rapid, irrespective of the albumin concentration and consequently exchange is not rate limiting for metabolism
