Uptake and metabolism of tryptophan by the isolated perfused guinea-pig mammary gland.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Tryptophan uptake by the isolated perfused lactating guinea-pig mammary gland was 46.5+/-4.6 mug/h per g. Results of absorption studies and the use of [methylene-14C]tryptophan suggest that tryptophan is one of the group of amino acids that are transferred almost quantitatively from blood plasma to milk protein.
