[The characteristics of amino acid metabolism in premature infants on different types of feeding].
Analysis of the free amino acids (AA) in a blood plasma of premature infants receiving kinds of baby food has allowed to reveal a feature of AA metabolism. A significant increasing of sum of the free AA and stable contents of aromatic AA have been found in blood of premature infants fed Prepiltti [correction of 'Prepilti'] that testified to adequacy of protein in Prepiltti [correction of 'Prepiltu'] to requirements of premature infants. Also it has been established different changes of concentration methionine and cystine in this group of the babies that confirms a hypothesis about immature of liver enzymes catabolizing a methionine.
