The effect of endotoxin on plasma alpha-aminoisobutyric acid.
The i.v. injection of bacterial endotoxin into dogs was found to cause a rapid increase in plasma levels of infused alpha-aminoisobutyric acid. The findings suggest that nonmetabolic factors (tissue uptake, fluid shifts) influence amino acid distribution during endotoxemia.
