Abstract
The synthesis of glycine was tested on 6 patients with progressive muscular dystrophy by feeding Na benzoate which combines with glycine in the formation of hippuric acid.[long dash]Patients can synthesize glycine for use in this process in amts. fairly equalling the therapeutic doses of the compound. The synthesis of glycine could not be defective.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
