Energetics of LA’s interactions with albumin and calcium, and its effect on serum calcium and albumin in mice

(A–D) Enthalpograms of injection of albumin (Alb; A) or calcium chloride (Ca; B) into LA. The various thermodynamic variables (Mean ± SEM (standard error of mean)) from 4-6 different experiments are mentioned in the Table adjacent to the enthalpogram. Time course of serum values of calcium (C) or albumin (D) in mice who were given palmitic acid (PA; green) or linoleic acid (LA; red) intraperitoneally. p values comparing the PA and LA groups for each day were calculated using a Mann-Whitney U test.
