title: N-Acetylglutamate in rat liver during foetal development.
abstract: N-Acetylglutamate is present in foetal rat liver at 17 days' gestation. The tissue content (approx. 50 nmol/g wet wt.) remains constant during later foetal life. The appearance of N-acetylglutamate does not parallel the developmental pattern of the urea cycle.
