Nutritional and Acid-Base Aspects of Amino Acid Metabolism
This volume comprises peer-reviewed papers from the 7th International Ammoniagenesis Workshop (Galway, May 1996). It explores the interrelation of nutritional and acid-base regulation of amino acid metabolism. Divided into focused sections, the contributions address:
Enzymatic mechanisms of ammonia production (e.g., phosphate-activated glutaminase),
Molecular biology of glutamine metabolism in organs like kidney and brain,
Hepatic amino acid dynamics,
Renal utilization of nitrogenous compounds,
Inter-organ metabolic pathways of ammonia and amino substrates
Chaired by D. J. O’Donovan et al., with series editorial oversight by Claudio Ronco, the volume updates the understanding of acid-base homeostasis, nitrogen handling, and nutritional influences on amino acid metabolism. It’s essential for researchers and clinicians in nephrology, nutrition, and metabolic physiology.
