Abstract
Competition for reabsorption by the renal tubules was demonstrated to exist following the intraven. admn. of the amino acid pairs arginine and lysine, arginine and his-tidine, leucine and isoleucine. No competition for reabsorption was observed with the amino acid pairs arginine and gly-cine, leucine and glycine, isoleucine and glycine, and arginine and leucine. The results are interpreted to indicate the existence of at least 2 tubular mechanisms for the reabsorption of amino acids.Keywords
