title: Effects of branched-chain alpha-keto acids on plasma amino acid concentrations in carbon tetrachloride-intoxicated rats.
abstract: Plasma branched-chain amino acid levels during continuous intravenous infusion of sodium salts of branched-chain alpha-keto acid were much higher in CCl4-intoxicated rats than in control rats. However, increases after intragastric administration were diminished in both groups. Increased plasma alloisoleucine levels following administration of R,S-alpha-keto-beta-methylvaleric acid were reduced greatly by using only S-alpha-keto-beta-methylvaleric acid.
