摘要
The formation of urea from orally administered 15N-labelled ammonium lactate has been studied in a patient with argininosuccinic aciduria. Compared with data from a similar experiment with a normal subject the synthesis of isotopic urea was not grossly depressed. After three days the patient retained more 15N than the control and this suggested that in consequence of the block in urea formation an abnormally large fraction of the [15N]ammonium was metabolised to glutamine. © 1969.
