Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To clarify whether the disturbances in metabolic kinetics of the essential aminoacid, phenylalanine (phe), are implicated in the genetic pathogenesis of essential hypertension (EH). METHODS: 1. L-(2, 3D3)-leucine, L-(2, 3D3)-isoleucine, L-15N-lysine, L-(2, 3D3)-valine and L-(2, 3D3)-phe were used for simultaneously studying comparative metabolic kinetics using stable isotope tracer methods with a GC-MS...
