Human plasma U.S.P., a preparation used as plasma volume expander, showed unusually high levels of free fatty acids. Results of incubation studies with fresh human plasma samples, kept at 32 C for various lengths of time suggest that the high fatty acid levels in human plasma U.S.P. developed during the long incubation periods used in the preparation of the product. Sodium chloride (0.6M) reduced the release of fatty acids in the incubated fresh plasma samples.
