Abstract
Summary
This study represents an investigation into the physiological basis of the differential excretion of D-phenylalanine in man after its oral administration. Of the processes investigated: adsorption of the substrate into the blood, inversion to the L form, oxidative deamination to phenylpyruvic acid, and renal function, differences in absorption and renal function were important in accounting for the differential excretion of D-phenylalanine.
