Abstract excerpt
Mouse models for urea cycle disorders have been available for the past 30 y; however, until now, no measurements of urea production in vivo have been conducted. Urea entry rate was determined in Otc(spf-ash) and littermate controls employing a primed-continuous infusion of 15N15N urea. A saline infusion control, a complete mixture of amino acids (AA), or a glycine-alanine (GA) mixture was infused at 86 (AA1 and...
