Abstract
The hypothesis that threonine inhibits the conversion of tryptophan to tissue pyridine nucleotides via 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid is not strongly supported by these results. However, excess dietary threonine markedly interferes with the digestion and absorption of the ration and is probably a better explanation for the action of excess threonine in producing growth inhibition in the rat.Keywords
