Studies on Detoxication by the Perfused Liver

Abstract
Synthesis of hippuric acid was determined in the isolated perfused liver of normal and x-irradiated rats with and without addition of glycine. An increase in synthesis of hippuric acid without addition of glycine was found in x-irradiated liver, indicating an expansion of the free glycine pool. On the other hand, synthesis of hippuric acid in x-irradiated liver was found to be slightly decreased when large amounts of glycine were present in the perfusate.
