Comparison of vehicle control albumin clearances and local plasma volumes measured using fluorescent method with values estimated using isotope methods in skin and muscle tissue of mouse and rat (units of clearance are μl min⁻¹ (g dry wt)⁻¹); units of local plasma volume are μl (g dry wt)⁻¹)

	Mouse fluorescence1	Mouse isotope2	Rat isotope3
Clearance
Hamstring muscle	0.38	0.22	0.15–0.17
Quadriceps muscle	0.30	0.35
Skin	0.52	0.65	0.23–0.27
Local vascular volume
Muscle	23	20	23
Skin	9	20	17
