ARGININE METABOLISM IN THE BLOOD CELLS OF CATTLE AND GOATS

W. Barej 1 and H. Hill 1

1 Institute of Physiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, Hanover, Germany

Active arginase was found in the cells of cattle blood, but not in those of goats. Blood cells of cows contained no arginine. When 14C arginine was incubated with the blood of cows, 14C ornithine could be detected in both cells and plasma. More arginine was found in the cells of goat blood than in the plasma. After incubation with 14C arginine, no 14C ornithine was found in goat blood. The possible role of blood cells in urea production is discussed.

Note:

W. Barej held the Humboldt Foundation Scholarship during this work.
