[Changes in the level of various amino acids in leukemia].
The determination of blood amino-acids by column chromatography has been carried out on 53 patients, 17 with acute myeloid leukemia, 22 with chronic myeloid leukemia. A comparison was made with 25 normal subjects. These determination has shown a significant increase in glycin, cystin and a non significant increase of tryptophan. A positive relationship may exist between uricemia and content of glycin and glutamin, both amino-acids which are messengers of uric acid. A positive correlation has been found between glycin tryptophan and the number of myeloblasts.
