title: Maturational changes of amino acid concentration in cerebrospinal fluid of the rat.
abstract: The cisternal spinal fluid (CF), plasma, and brain stem concentrations of 6 amino acids were measured in suckling rats between birth and one months of age. Each of the amino acids studied had its distinctive maturational pattern of CF concentration. Presumably these amino acids have separate mechanisms of transport from CF, which mature at different times.
