Inverse relationship between the plasma syndecan-1 concentration and the rate constant for capillary leakage of A infused fluid when 1.5 L of crystalloid solution was administered to males with a mean age of 72 years, and B albumin when 3 mL/kg of 20% albumin was infused in post-burn patients. Each point represents one infusion experiment. The kinetic constants (k₁₂ and k_b) were generated by volume kinetic analysis. Subplot A is derived from Reference [71], and subplot B was created based on data published in Reference [56]. Regressions were based on square-root-transformed plasma syndecan-1 concentrations measured (by the same laboratory) just before the infusions were initiated. Note the logarithmic scale in subplot B
