Abstract
Summary
Tracings of the amino acid patterns obtained chromatographically on the tungstic acid acid filtrates of skeletal muscle, left ventricle and kidney from normal and potassium-deficient dogs have been presented. The amino acid patterns of the tissues from control and potassium-deficient dogs were found to be identical, even in the presence of marked changes in the electrolyte compositions of plasma and skeletal muscle. Differences between amino acid patterns of the skeletal muscle from potassium-deficient dogs and of the skeletal muscle from potassium-deficient rats previously reported were pointed out.
