Increased pyroglutamic acid levels in patients on artificial diets.
Increased plasma and urine levels of pyroglutamic acid were found in 4 patients being fed the low-lactose food Nutramigen. Pyroglutamic acid was detected and estimated by a variety of methods, and the merits of the techniques used and their application in a screening programme are discussed.
