Abstract
Summary
The relation between the rate of renal filtration and reabsorption of dl-methionine α-amino nitrogen has been studied in normal dogs. As the amount filtered was increased to 34.8 mg α-amino nitrogen/min/square meter, the highest level attained in these experiments, the rate of reabsorption increased to 24.8 mg/min/square meter and there was no evidence that a Tm value was obtained. The data demonstrate the high efficiency of the renal mechanism for the reabsorption of methionine.
