Summary

The effects of injury on the concentration of α1-macroglobulin and α2-macroglobulin in the plasmas of male and female rats has been investigated. At 5 days after injury to the male rats the α1-macroglobulin concentration increased to 131% of its preinjury value. The α2-macroglobulin concentration increased more rapidly to a maximum of 86 times its initial value. In the female rats α2-macroglobulin increased only slightly and α1-macroglobulin not at all.
