Diffusion of glucose, insulin, inulin, and Evans blue protein into thoracic duct lymph of man

E A Rasio et al. J Clin Invest. 1967 Jun.

Abstract

Immunoreactive insulin, like inulin, quickly equilibrates with interstitial fluid, as evidenced by recovery in thoracic duct lymph in man. Insulin-like activity not accounted for by immunoreactive insulin behaves as a large protein and is confined to the vascular compartment.
