Labeled Methionine as an Indicator of Protein formation in Children with Lipoid Nephrosis.

Abstract

1. The rate of serum protein formation as indicated by the incorporation of methionine labeled with S35 was determined in 4 patients with lipoid nephrosis and in two control subjects. 2. The rate of serum protein formation thus determined would appear to be greater in the nephritic patients than in the control subjects.
