Abstract
1.Fractional flux rates ofNτ-methylhistidine (3-methylhistidine; Me-His) of skin and gastrointestine were measured by administering [methyl-3H]methionine to rats. 2.The results showed that the contribution of these tissues to urinary excretion of Me-His was at least 16.6 %. This means that when fractional catabolic rates of myosin and actin were estimated from urinary excretion of Me-His, the part of Me-His derived from skin and gastrointestine should not be neglected.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
