ALB and serum lipopolysaccharide activity: At concentrations as low as 2.5 g albumin/dl, PEG-albumin (carrying 10 copies of PEG-5,000 chains per molecule) is better able to resuscitate from induced endotoxemia, thus preventing the development of circulatory collapse, as compared with 6 g/dl dextran 70 (molecular weight 70 kDa) [14].
