HOMOCITRULLINE AND HOMOARGININE SYNTHESIS FROM LYSINE.

After the injection of L-lysine and uniformly labeled L-lysine-carbon-14 into the rat, labeled homocitrulline and homoarginine are found in the liver and kidney. The ingestion of lysine by seven normal adults results in an increased urinary excretion of homocitrulline and homoarginine. These data suggest the occurrence of an unreported metabolic pathway for lysine in the rat and man.

INHIBITION OF ANTIBODY SYNTHESIS BY L-PHENYLALANINE.

Antibody synthesis in response to the injection of diphtheria toxoid into rabbits and rats was used to study the effects of an excess of the amino acid L-phenylalanine on protein synthesis. Injections of phenylalanine produced a marked inhibition of antibody synthesis in both the rat and the rabbit. The dosage of phenylalanine used caused an increase over the normal concentration of phenylalanine in the plasma and spleen of rats, but did not cause a loss of weight or serum protein changes in the treated animals.
