Abstract
Summary
1. The concentration of free amino acids and related compounds in muscle extracts from normal and from vit. E-dencient (dystrophic) rabbits has been determined by ion-exchange chromatography. 2. In the severely dystrophic animal, the levels of most of the amino acids were elevated. 3. 1-Methylhistidine, carnosine, and anserine were decreased in concentration. 4. The concentration of glycine was markedly reduced, even at the earliest stage of the disease.
