BLOCKADE BY POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE (PVP) AS MEASURED WITH RADIO-CHROMIC PHOSPHATE IN THE RABBIT JF Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO J Pharmacol Exp Ther FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 148 OP 152 VO 118 IS 2 A1 Weikel, John H.

YR 1956 UL http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/118/2/148.abstract AB The correlation between polyvinylpyrrolidone storage in the reticulo-endothelial system and functional activity of that system has been examined using radioactive chromic phosphate. Polyvinylpyrrolidone was shown to depress the rate of phagocytosis of the colloid. It also caused a change in the distribution of the chromic phosphate among the organs of the reticuloendothelial system with more taken up by the lungs and less by the spleens of those animals treated with polyvinylpyrrolidone.
