to study the influence of plasma protein concentration on fluid balance in the newborn lung , we measured pulmonary arterial and left atrial pressures , lung lymph flow , and concentrations of protein in lymph and plasma of eight lambs , 2-3 wk old , before and after we reduced their plasma protein concentration from 5.8 +/- 0.3 to 3.6 +/- 0.6 g/dl .
