The effect of daily intraperitoneal injections of 100 mg of high molecular levan for 4-6 weeks on a number of physiological parameters was studied in rabbits. The parameters studied included whole blood pH, blood gases and acid-base balance. Control rabbits were similarly treated with physiological saline. In five rabbits T-50 was determined after levan treatment. None of the studied parameters was significantly affected by the levan treatment.
