title: [Amniotic fluid arginase in women at term].
abstract: Study on 34 cases. A considerable arginasic activity is observed in amniotic fluid in women at the end of pregnancy. This activity is weak, but increased by Mn2+ (about 5 to 8 times). The total amniotic fluid is more active than the surpernatant, the deposit of which has been eliminated. An important part of arginasic activity results from the elements of the deposit (amniotic cells, foetal cells and eventualy erythrocytes in hemorragic amniotic fluid).
