Concentration of free amino acids in the blood and liver of cattle, sheep and rabbits.
Concentration of free amino acids in the plasma, erythrocytes and the liver of cattle, sheep and rabbits was different in various species. The differences concerned mainly glutamine, glutamic acid, proline, alanine, glycine. The participation of endogenic amino acids in gluconeogenesis and the nitrogen recycle was discussed considering the characteristics of their metabolism in ruminants.
