Abstract
Sixteen of 60 newborn infants were treated with aspartic acid and another 16 with orotic acid. The other 28 newborns served as controls. Oral administrations of each substance in a total dose of 200 mg per day, divided in 2 doses, were continued until the 4th day of birth. A significant decrease in the concentration of serum bilirubin was observed after administration of both aspartic acid and orotic acid.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
