Abstract
Summary
Microbiological determinations of plasma values for arginine, glycine, histidine, lysine, phenylalanine, serine, and threonine have been determined in a group of normal individuals and compared with the values obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
1. The values obtained for arginine, histidine, and threonine in patients with rheumatoid arthritis were lower than those obtained from the normal group. These differences were highly significant 11 . 2. The values for glycine, lysine, phenylalanine and serine were not significantly different in the group with rheumatoid arthritis from those found in the group of normal individuals.
