Abstract
Description
Plasma proteins, such as albumin and globulin, that help maintain the
colloidal osmotic pressure at about 25 mmHg. Electrolytes like sodium,
potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, and calcium help maintain blood pH.
Immunoglobulins help fight infection and various other small amounts of
enzymes, hormones, and vitamins
● The majority of plasma proteins are synthesized and secreted by the liver, the
most abundant being albumin
● The normal serum protein level is 6 to 8 g/dl. Albumin makes up 3.5 to 5.0 g/dl,
and the remainder is the total globulins.
● Protein binding influences the bioavailability and distribution of active
compounds.
