(3) The additional change in the ODC of the hyperlipemic patients is thought to be secondary to accumulation of triglyceride-rich particles for the following reasons: (1) a similar increase in oxygen affinity of hemoglobin was demonstrated in familial type I HLP of nondiabetic subjects; (2) normal red cells increased their oxygen affinity when incubated in lactescent plasma; (3) in both acquired types I and V HLP the disappearance of HLP was followed by a normalization of the ODC.
(4) Extremely lactescent sera may yield falsely low nephelometric amylase and lipase activities: these sera must be serially diluted to achieve actual values.
(5) Lactescent plasmas were found in the subjects with the greatest protein loss.
