Influence of experimental dietary conditions on hepatic enzymes of glutamic acid metabolism in rats.
The lowering levels of dietary protein induced a significant fall of some hepatic enzymes associated with glutamic acid metabolism. The changes were later normalised during dietary rehabilitation of the protein-deprived rats. The levels of these enzymes were found to be increased as compared to those observed after starvation, on feeding a carbohydrate-free, protein-rich diet or by the dietary supplementation by glutamic acid.
