A STUDY OF AMINO NITROGEN AND GLUCOSE IN LYMPH AND BLOOD BEFORE AND AFTER THE INJECTION OF NUTRIENT SOLUTIONS IN THE INTESTINE

Abstract

The question of the absorption of protein by way of the lymph has not been considered since the true significance of protein digestion has been known. The earlier investigators were limited to the determination of total nitrogen as a means of following the products of protein digestion through the body. Newer methods make it possible and desirable to follow resorption of the products of protein digestion by the determination of amino nitrogen in the tissues and fluids of the body.
