Amino Acid Balance and Imbalance in the Pig With Emphasis on Urea-Cycle Metabolism and Interorgan Amino Acid Transfers
Abstract
dc:descriptionSeveral experiments were conducted to investigate amino acid metabolism in pigs as affected by arginine deficiency, fasting and amino acid imbalances. Supplemental citrulline replaced arginine for growth in pigs fed arginine-deficient diets whereas ornithine supplementation was without effect. Excess ornithine increased free ornithine and proline in liver, kidney and muscle whereas free citrulline increased only in liver.
