Amino Acid Metabolism

AB S T R A C T To evaluate the factors regulating gluconeogenesis in pregnancy, plasma amino acid levels were determined during the course of an 84-90 hr fast in physically healthy women studied during wk 16-22 of gestation (before undergoing therapeutic abortion), and in nonpregnant controls. The effect of pregnancy on the glycemic response to exogenous alanine administration during starvation...

Classification of staphylococci by penicillin lysis.

It has been recognized for some time that staphylococci may be divided into those which do and those which do not produce a penicillinase (Hobby & Dawson, 1944; Spink, Ferris & Vivino, 1944; Kirby, 1945a, b) . Also, staphylococci are often tested for their penicillin sensitivity (tolerance) and classified as ‘sensitive’ or ‘insensitive’. The literature contains a number of references to another...

The Effect of Amino Acid, Carbohydrate, and Lipid Metabolism Disorders on Eyes

Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) are a class of genetic disorders. Each metabolic disorder may have different forms with different age of onset, clinical manifestations, severity, and even type of inheritance. Ideally, a group of different specialists, including ophthalmologists, pediatricians, biochemists, and medical geneticists are needed for the final diagnosis and management of IMDs. B...
